'Culpeper' - That's pretty cool ... can I have it?

(Too bad the receiver got 'notched' for the 'hold-open' pin. This model 1892 must have got the early 1900s rebuild/updates? The cut-off switch looks like a later 'reversed type', with the polished 'up' lever).

Was the rod groove filled and then later routed out for restoration?

I'm not bashing your early Krag. We don't get to see such a nice one very often. Thanks for sharing?
