spud:� Your Model 1898 Krag (#426,426) was manufactured as a rifle.� Later carbines were marked "Model 1899".� The Model 1899 Carbines started around serial number 226,701, in September, 1899.� If you post some pictures, you will get a lot more information on what you have. (Hmmm, $25, boy did you get ripped-off! Want to quadruple your investment?).
