Wes C:� In my opinion, you should leave your 1898 Krag Rifle as it is.� It sounds like your rifle was arsenal or National Guard upgraded and is correct as it is.� Enjoy your Krag and show us some pictures.� The mania shown by some M1 Carbine collectors to "restore" their "mixmaster" but correct, arsenal rebuilds, to something they no longer are and possibly never were, borders on dishonesty and will be disdained by future collectors -- IMHO.
