banjodave:  Thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful Model 1898 Krag.  You made my day a bit more fun!  You should get yourself a copy of Mallory & Olson's "Krag Rifle Story" (out of print but shows up on eBay) to compliment your fine Krag.  I've attached a Michigan National Guard picture, circa 1903, to show the use most 1898 Krags received.
