Lots of U.S. rifles and shotguns were made in the early 1900s without serial numbers. Licensed dealers, FBI, and BATF know that not all firearms were made with a serial number and they have a process for NSN (no serial number) arms.
I would not have legal worries about the lack of a serial number on this model 1898 Krag. It never had one.
Attached picture of a model 1899 receiver bottom for comparison with OP's.
