'Candace' - Your Dad's Krag was never a carbine. It was a U.S. model 1892 infantry rifle, made around January or February, 1895.

It was altered by someone, after sale to the public, for 'Sporting' purposes. The barrel was shortened from 30 inches, a 1903 Springfield front-sight was installed, a Redfield commercial peep-sight added, and the military stock greatly modified.

A neat 'Family Heirloom', enjoy it!
