U. S. Rifle model 1892, #6214, was likely built in September to November, 1894.
Since arms were disassemble to perform updates and refurbish metal and wood (fill rod channel), it is very unlikely gun stocks got back on their original barreled-actions. It was not necessary to put a new 'acceptance cartouche' on the stocks of 'rebuilt Krags'. Old stock markings remained. The initials in your stock's '1895 cartouche' are a script "J.S.A." for Joseph Sumner Adams, Asst. Foreman of Assembly Room at Springfield Armory. |
