I don't think it will be a real M1898 Carbine with a serial number that high. Most sources indicate that 98SRC serial numbers ended somewhere in the 130 - 140K range. They were all made in 1898 and the original sight would be a M1896 carbine sight. The stock would have the sling swivel/bar and would be the "short" version with a 1898 cartouche.
