"Newt" - Welcome to the KCA Forum.

As others have mentioned, U.S. Krag, #104862, should be a U. S. model 1896 rifle assembled around May, 1898.

Often, the "model 1896" marking is mistaken for 1898, because it is deeply stamped.

The model 1896 and model 1898 actions have some differences in how they were machined, especially at the 'notch' for the bolt-handle.

A model 1896 action will not fit into a model 1898 Stock, unless some inletting is done in the bolt-handle 'notch' area.

Attached photos: #9639 - model 1896 action. #9208 - model 1898 action. #9140 - "P" proof found on Krag barrel. #9141 "P" and barrel index mark found on front edge of receiver.
