'ARKLITE': Welcome to the KCA Forum.
You appear to have an altered Norwegian Krag that was made at Kongsberg Arsenal, in 1915. (The other 'mark', you mention, may be a stylized "K", for Kongsberg).
Since it is dated 1915 and has a four digit serial number, it probably started life as a model 1912 carbine. (Your serial number likely falls between #4,069 and #8,751).
A complete serial number and photos of markings, the trigger-guard, and the original rear sight mounting, would allow this to be confirmed.
(The attached Photo is of an original Norwegian model 1912 carbine, made in 1924. Note, many earlier carbine bolt-knobs will be flat and 'checkered'):
