E.M.Betting:  If this is the picture you are referring to, there appear to be similarities to your rifle.  However, your stock appears to have a slightly different shape and is of laminated construction.  Lt.Col. William S. Bropy pictures a similar rifle in his book, 'The Krag Rifle', and describes it as "Sharpshooter's Rifle M30".  Franklin B. Mallory also pictures a similar rifle in his book, "The Krag Rifle Story".  He captions it "Model 1930 Sniper's rifle" and states "Later specimens of this rifle have a laminated beech stock that resists warpage better than solid wood".
