	you have posted only one picture, it will also help to have the serial number to properly ID your weapon. I looks correct for a Carbine with a 1901 rear site( or looks like on on the picture). will need more pictures of both sides of the stock. You stack has been modifed with a commercial butt plate. Which has destoryed the stock for a collector and finding a correct stock will not be easy as I am looking for one myself, I have the same issue. Your stock looks like it also was modified for a sling, or could have been a arseal conversion. These are questions tha might be answered with more pictures and serial numbers.

	Several years ago I purchased at a farm auction in Oklahoma a Krag carbine. Sadly, Bubba got to it before I did having cut the butt stock adding a rubber pad (I have replaced with leather piece for now). The good news is I hope to bring it back as best as I can. At this point I will need a butt plate, stock and possibly a few small parts. Photo attached....others may follow.
