It would be interesting to know which parts, receiver and bolt, are numbered to the rifle.

Look forward to seeing them.
The internal parts on your rifle were numbered to the receiver on early production arms.
Gate, Sideplate, Carrier and Follower and maybe others.

Jim,
After reading your description I gave the gun a "maybe.
After looking at the pics, I upgraded it "probably."
And, after you told me that the internal parts are numbered 285 and match the receiver SN, I want to congratulate you on having an original Model of 1892 rifle.
All that's missing is the ram rod. Good luck in finding an original.

I want to thank you for all the help and information you gave me.For me it has been fun finding out about this Krag. Again I can't thank you enough. I'll have to start looking for a cleaning rod, it just means more fun at garage sales, auctions and old gun shows.

Thanks for everything
Jim
