Hei.<br /><br />Du har, You got the remains of a m1984. The receiver is a norwegian krag m1894, made in 1914, but the barrel is from a m1912 carabine. This confuses the ID, that it can be identified as a carabine. The serial number identifies that it is one of the 1000 krags m1894 that were produced...

Yes, thats the handguard.

Value in US? Not sure, but seen different norwegian krags go for 500-1000 on Gunbroker.com.

That is the year it is made.

You got a M1897-Ingenirkarabin.
870 made in 1901.

You lack the small wooden handguard between receiver and rear sight. Also, as you probebly understand, the rubber recoil pad not a option ;) in 1901.

Except from that and the sight/scope base, It seem OK.

Press the release knob. If not possible to move, your next step is take the wooden grip of by open the only screw you see. Then you can release the leaver inside and get the bajo of.
