Hi - I have a Model 1898 Krag. It has a 22 inch barrel, 1901 rear sight, and the stock is 30 inches long overall, with a sling bracket on the bottom - not on the side. The pictures I see of actual carbines have the front sling bracket held with the long spring holder. Mine doesn't have that, there is just a pin through the stock right ahead of it. I think this means mine is a cut down rifle - is that right? The front sight apears to be the right thing, maybe the barrel is from a carbine?
It's too bad there are so few original Krags around, it seems like they all have been messed with over the years.
I also have a couple of extra Krag parts I could sell I suppose. I have a 1896 rear sight, another stock - the model 96 type with the extra relieving around the bolt handle (also a cut down rifle stock?) and a flat butt plate. I think the butt plate is from a Krag, but I don't know why it's flat instead of curved in at the bottom.
I just found this site, and I'm glad there is one for Krags. They are neat rifles, even if their history in the US army was short.

Hi - mine is serial number 327349 (why do people hesitate to list the serial numbers of their guns - what harm could come?).
The extra stock I have doesn't have the flat butt plate, it is curved. The flat one is just another part I must have gotten somewhere.
Sort of an interesting story - the extra stock I have is from a rifle I got when I was young, somewhere around 1962 I think. My mom took me to an old guy's house that she knew.  I liked guns and she had told him about me I suppose. He was real old then, maybe late 80's or 90 I think. He sold (maybe gave, I don't remember) me a Krag and showed me a picture of himself when he was young. He was in his Cavalry uniform and holding a Krag rifle! I remember when he showed me how it worked, suddenly he didn't seem so old - he snapped the bolt open and flipped the magazine lid like he knew what he was doing for sure!
I stupidly sportorized it with a Herter's stock (which is why I still have the extra stock and rear sight). Years later I traded it to a guy for a Rem. XP-100. The guy I traded it to took it deer hunting, stuck the barrel in the snow and fired it. It blew up, didn't hurt anyone, but the barrel split. I remember I shortened the barrel and turned down the  diameter in my dad's lathe. Maybe that's why it split - yikes!
Now that I think about it, I also remember that I moved the tailstock off center to turn a taper on the barrel. My Dad didn't really like that too much. I had to make darn sure I got it back where it belonged.  - What we all learn messing with guns!
