JeremyK - Welcome to the KCA Forum.

You have a nice U.S. model 1898 Krag rifle with interesting markings. IMHO - It is unlikely the sling and the rifle have always gone together.

There are lots of "M" States:

Maine, Mass., Maryland, Michigan U.P., Michigan L.P., Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, and Manitoba.

Take you pick for State/National Guard. They all likely had a "4th" Regiment.

In the early 1900's, State of Michigan forces went from Remington-Lee to U.S. Krag-Jorgensen. Units changed from "Michigan State Troops" to "Michigan National Guard".
