help needed on recent find - 1894 carbine ?

[butlersrangers]

'pastafozol' appears to have a model 1899 carbine rear barrel-band, a 1902 rear sight 'top' mounted on a model 1898 rifle base, and a W.S. Stokes 'banded' front-sight.

The 'name plate' makes the 'Creator' obvious. Neat 'huntin' Krag!

(It would be interesting to see clearer more detailed pictures of the rear-sight. It might be a model 1902 carbine sight, which is relatively rare with only 5,000 made. The 1902 carbine sight has a small "C" on right or left side of base).

Wow, you guys are good! I appreciate the time and effort put forth towards a newcomer. In I'll take better pics soon. The rifle is at my fathers house which is a good distance away
