HI folks. New member here from New Orleans. Just picked up my second 1898 Krag and it doesn't look like my first one. It's short. What is this?  (Missing front sight but CMP custom shop will install new repro eventually). The barrel is 24" long. Doesn't look like a "bubba job" but also doesn't look like the Krags I'm seeing in books. S/N dates it to 1901. Any help would be appreciated.
