Hello and welcome. If I'm reading your description correct,you are stating as to it not having sling swivels which would be correct, but you don't mention the carbine swivel. Does it have the sling bar/ring on the left hand side? The Krag 1896 Carbine could be marked 1895, 1896 or Model 1896. The early stocks with the thin wrist were very easily broken. So a replacement is not uncommon at all as long as all other requirements are in place. Photos or other descriptions are needed. Congrats, John P.S. looks like you got back while I was composing.
