Tom - I am posting some pictures of another member's model 1896 carbine, a carbine sling-bar, the KCA hand-guard "chart"(you need the short one marked '1896C'), and a model 1896 carbine rear-sight.
You can buy a useful reference, "The American Krag Rifle and Carbine", by Joe Poyer, for about $25 on ebay. Lots of useful info. and pics to increase your knowledge and enjoyment of your heirloom.
The KCA forum is good people. There is a lot of BS about Krags on the internet and a lot of scoundrels sell Krags and misrepresent stuff.
A good source of parts is "Grandpa's Gun Parts" in the KCA Classifieds.
You can go to the KCA main page - by clicking on the News Banner: "VISIT THE KCA WEBSITE" today, (when it appears at the top of this page.) Click on the Tab marked "Photos" and you will find all kinds of interesting stuff!
