Thank you for the reply about my Krag. I'm new to the forum and have not checked out the ''how to post pictures'' yet. I'm sure you are correct about where the rifle was built. All serial #s on the rifle are 7593. That included the bolt handle, which is flat and checkered. The trigger guard, barrel. receiver, even the butt plate, is marked 7593. The stock has been cut down and ''sporterized'', As i stated in my post, the rear sight is a aftermarket Lyman peep sight # 57 K sight.thanks again for your time. ARKLITE881South
