What do you mean "barracks cut"? I'm familiar with the term "duffel cut" whereby the stock is cut down short enough to fit the broken down gun inside a dufflebag.

rice123:  I doubt your Krag was "duffle-cut" by a soldier to get it back home.  It is far more likely the stock was shortened in a sporterizing attempt.  At a later date, someone has spliced on a fore-stock as a restoration.  I would check the wood grain and finish very carefully, outside and inside the barrel channel, for subtle differences to ascertain if the wood parts are different.  Good clear pictures would get knowledgeable opinions.

I have a 92/96 KRAG with a "duffle" cut. It is listed in SRS as being with the 25th INF Bicycle Troops ("Buffalo" soldiers ) in 1897. If it has had a piece added, they used a fore stock from another 92/96 because the front piece has the cleaning rod channel filled. I found it in a pawn shop in the part of town that a Buffalo Soldier would most likely have called home.
