'Wilson' - Welcome to the KCA Forum.

I took the liberty of making your photo smaller, for a better view.

U.S. model 1898 Krag, #201498, would have been built around May, 1899, as a rifle.
By that date, U.S. Krag carbines were being marked 'model 1899'.

If you post more pictures of your Krag including sights, muzzle-area, and stock details, more information will be forthcoming.

Try to keep pictures smaller.

It appears your Krag is missing its magazine cut-off lever.

Lots of Krag rifles, like yours, were cut-down to carbine size to make them more useful for 'Hunting'. These are very fun Krags to use!
