I have a 30-40 Krag that I got from my dad.  I'd like to identify where and possibly when it was made.  There are no markings visible except by removing the stock and no serial number that I can identify. 
P.S. It is a carbine.
The only markings are on the forward end of the receiver.  Starting on the left side of the front of the receiver I have a 6.  In the centre cut out area there is a 0 and an 8 that are separated. On the right hand there is an N above a star, a J, another 0 and an 8 also separated and other marks that are too faint or double stamped so they are hard to read.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, it doesn't make sense to me either.  There is no evidence of drilling or milling and no scope or other addition.

I forget the date but at one time serial numbers were not required.  This may not be an American made Krag.  I have another Springfield Krag so, yes, it is a 30-40 Krag and has been in the family for over 50 years.  As you know these were manufactured in Europe before they were here.  Pictures are a problem for me but I'll se if I can get some help there.

I don't remember posting over there though I could have if it was years ago and only a few times, probably not.  I do have a Mosin.

Pictures need to be 768KB or less to post on KCA site.

You can reduce and save a smaller copy.

Use 'Save Image As' and give the copy a new 'name'.

When you close your edited original, choose 'Don't Save Changes' and original will be preserved without alteration.

A 'close-up' 100KB picture can show lots of detail and is a convenient size for viewing on the KCA Forum.

I should have said: 'save image as'.

Most of the images I post are JPEG.

I can edit size of images stored on my hard-drive, with my Windows 7 or Paint programs.

IMHO - Best Krag diagnostic images are close, clear, natural lighting, that show details, such as, markings, sights, muzzle area, forearm tip, and metal & wood finish.

Full- length views of  Krags, with owner's feet in frame, are not very helpful, but, are amusing.

I use a Mac exclusively. Open the jpg picture file, go to Tools on the top of the screen and drag down to Adjust Size. Go to Custom and select the 1280x1280 and click OK and most of your pictures should resize to an acceptable size for posting.

Sometimes you have to play with them a little.

I wrote my senior chemistry thesis paper in college on an Apple computer completely with the first word processing program I had ever heard of on a 4 inch floppy disk. Did my paper and research on Lasers and Holography and made my own holograms for the project. That was 1983 and I have used Apples ever since.

They cost more than pcs but they are easier to use and last a lot longer. Never have had a virus or hard drive crash either!
