Well, honestly, I don't see anything desirable about this Krag except for its model 1898 carbine stock and the 'sight-protecting' carbine barrel-band.

The auction site is not showing us the "carbine's" model 1896 rear-sight from an angle that will allow identifying whether it is actually a carbine sight.

The front sight is a 1903 Springfield sight, which usually means 'cut-down' rifle.

The hand-guard has been re-contoured at the receiver end.

The 'hand stamped' receiver markings seem inexplicable.

I'm passing on it! Besides, I hate auctions.

IMHO - (This auction site appears pretty erratic in their valuing and pricing of items).
