It sounds like you have a sporterized rifle. Worth around $150-$300 depending on what original parts are still there.
A more through description with some measurements, the serial number and some pictures would go a long way to a more accurate description and value!

The screw holes for Krag rear sight are all spaced the same and in the same location on all Krags, but the sight dimentions vary. The '01 has more metal in front of the front screw so the matching hand guard will have a bit less wood in the front section. Those '03 parts should interchange.

If in original configuration Please do not sporterize it!!!
Far too many Norwegian Krags are already sporterized and can be had from time to time on the auction sites.

Truly sad news. Chuck was a knowledgeable and dedicated collector he will most certainly be missed
Rest in Peace

Congratulations on another great find Dick!! Drop me a line if you want to get rid of your "extra" one!!
