This isa home made carbine. Many thousands of Krags were sold after WW II. through the old DCM. Some as cheap as 5.00. The carbines were more preferred for hunting, but there were only so many. The rifles were sold and they were modified by the owners to the nth degree. Don't despair, if the bore and headspace are in decent shape you will have a good shooter. Restoration to original configuration is impractical. Shoot and enjoy
