Mystery Krag

[Culpeper]

Guess what kind of Krag this is and win a box of ammo. Aw, who am I kidding. You'll win a handful of pocket lint. I was saving it to knit a sweater for a Christmas gift but I'll make the it next year.

Besides. It's been a couple of slow days on the ol' forum.

It appears to be a model 1899 carbine with a m-1901 rear-sight.
The stock looks to be repaired at the bolt handle 'cut-out' area.

So, what's not shown, that creates a mystery?

[Culpeper]

Nope. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just a regular 1899. Congratulations! We have a winner! Where should I send the pocket lint?

[Whig]

But could it also be a Model 1898 carbine with the wrong rear sight from this view?

[butlersrangers]

It could have been a model 1898 carbine that was updated to 1899 carbine features.

Give the lint to 'Whig'. He's a "player".

[Whig]

Hopefully, there's enough lint to share!

Culpeper could probably scrape together some belly button lint just for you Whig!

Shoooooot. (Larry the cable guy voice)

All of you guys are getting sweaters for Christmas this year. I've saving up for a special time and this is it. I was at a low point in life back in 2005 and decided I am going to be a ray of sunshine to the Krag folks. That was a lot of lint. I had to borrow some for the lace fringes.

Wait! Where're you going? Don't run away. I was going to make espresso.

whew. Now I have an empty 40 foot conex since all of the lint is gone and I can't get my deposit back. Something about belly button lint contamination that I missed in the contract.
