That is my intention. Install correct front sight. The barrel is about an inch too long and the stock is about 1 1/2" too long. Think making it a School rifle would work out just fine. Are you suggesting leaving the barrel at 23"? I have thought about that, too, just to keep costs down. From the measurements I have, the Upper band/Bayo lug will still need to be moved back some to mount a bayonet.

I would suggest to the op to do the least amount of new damage and replicate a school rifle with his newly aquired altered Krag. Turn the bbl for the Krag bayonet, properly crown it, mount a correct sight and move the bayonet mount to the correct location. Shoot it often, repeat as necessary. They’re neat firearms.
