As I understand things, during re-building and major updating of Krags, at Springfield Armory, the Rifles and Carbines were taken apart.

The parts were inspected and serviceable parts underwent specified treatment and refinish.

The 'recycled' metal and wood components went into Bins. The 'rebuilt' rifles were assembled with randomly selected parts.

The rebuilt arms were function tested and fired. When "passed", a 'circle P' was applied to the stock wrist in the area behind the trigger-guard.
