You are correct. It is a 30-40 US Krag. Glad to see the stock has not been cut down as many were. The 30-40 is a good game cartridge. I killed the largest animal I ever shot with a Krag. ( One of my cows had gone wild in a remote area behind my house and attempts to trap her failed. One shot from the Krag and she dropped so fast I did not see her fall. Took six men to unload her at processing plant after I had loaded her with tractor)
