thank you for the reply Mich. and yes the barrel is 22'', and that was the company I was refering to. But I don't think this was NRA, carbine, my army buddy has the guniune carbine, that is NRA Match. I was hoping somebody had serial numbers of the Krags they modified. This is very well done, also the barrel has a dark spot on the blue where it rested in a support, possibly in a gun rack. it had to have been in that position for a number of years, to make a blueing darker. I am not really computer savy so the photo's will be tough for me. This will probably my only Krag I ever own, Thanks again be safe and shoot clean  Sunny
