Looks like a very nice shooter.  It should provide you with years of fun! 

One question... in another thread, you stated that you had a correct carbine barrel.  Is the receiver marked 1898 or 1899?  If it's 1899, then it is definitely a carbine receiver... but if it's 1898, then it's definitely a rifle receiver.  You didn't state which.  Sometimes, a competent gunsmith would reattach the Krag front sight post after cutting the rifle barrel down to carbine length.  If yours is not a true carbine receiver, is it possible that the post has been reattached?  Just curious...
