As a point of interest your rifle was, in the eyes of the Gvt, an 1896 rifle. Once it received the changes it became an 1896 rifle. Of course, as collectors we look at as an 1892 upgrarded to 1896 config. Very nice rifle you have there.

I have Rifle 9367 also upgraded to an 1896 rifle. Mine has the small wrist stock.

There are several books out there if you are interested in further study. The most detailed and having the most bang for the buck is a book by Joseph A. Farmer. "Farmers Notes Volume 6, U.S. Military Krags", IIRC. Last I knew they were available on  Ebay. You will get documented data in this book not easily available elsewhere.
