The bolt handle ramp on the receiver and flared stock cut for the bolt handle do confirm you have a M1896 Krag rifle receiver and stock. The M1901 rear sight was a later change which is perfectly fine for this rifle. I prefer the M1901 sight for shooting accuracy. Some prefer the M1902 sight with the little Sergeant Peep sighting hole.
