I can no longer resist asking:  I have an 1899 Krag, #349912, that was 'sporterized' by slimming down the carbine stock and having a banded front sight installed.  The barrel is too long, 22&1/4 inches.  But the index marks on the barrel and action line up perfectly.  Any significance or hits on that serial number?  (The 'knobless' cocking piece and K-1 Pacific peep-sight are late additions).
