'Baltimoreed' - It looks like your fake 'NRA' model 1898 Krag sporter has a model 1892 bolt-sleeve and hand-guard. Your Bolt appears to be a model 1898 Bolt and extractor.

The Krag carbine sling-bar and ring were never used on the 'long forearm' stocks. It is a nice $50-$75 part.

Your 1905 Springfield front sight looks neatly done.

If it were my Krag, I would leave it as a quasi-NRA sporter. I'd take the noisy sling-bar off and plug the screw-holes in the stock.
