	Rifle has arrived! Boy it is even cleaner than I was expecting! The muzzle and bore are absolutely excellent and still bright! Downside is I do not see a plugged cleaning rod channel.

	Given that it has the proof mark but no cartouche (making an assumption here), and no filled channel on the bottom of the stock under the barrel, I would guess that it has an arsenal-replaced stock. But it is a beautiful Krag!!! I can't wait to see it at the Roosevelt this summer... I bet it shoots as sweet as it looks.

	I actually ended up picking up another 1898 rifle so I will be shooting all three this weekend to ascertain accuracy potential. As much as I would love to shoot the match with the 92/96 I really think I am better with the 1901 sight on both of my 98's. I prefer the 1901 sight considerably more than that of the 96'. I actually like the 1901 sight the best of all them as a personal choice. However I will bring it with me to the match as a backup rifle

	Upon further investigation I do believe the cleaning rod channel to have been filled because in direct light on the bottom of the stock you can clearly see a discoloration in the wood that leaves a lighter colored outline of where a channel for the cleaning rod would have been. Not sure if this changes much of anything but while i was installing an original 2 piece 1887 sling I purchased for the rifle is when I noticed it clear as day. I also found the cleanest early 1895 marked bayonet I've ever seen for it as well. Pictures to come.

	Thanks for a great thread. If anyone is tracking I am restoring US model 1892 rifle SN: 303. Has your SN: 309 have serial numbers on the internal parts like the bolt, gate, cover follower, etc? Thanks, Curt

	Yes, it has a filled channel. I could see the wooden pins in his first photos.
