hello ,,your krag rifle has been cut down at some time in it's lifetime,,the standard barrel lenght for the rifle was 30"( and your serial number places it as a rifle originally)and for a carbine it was 22"

,,,that said value is as a sporting /hunting rifle or a parts gun ,,i'd say as a hunting rifle it might bring around 200-300 if nicely done ,,as a parts rifle i'd say someone may offer you around 150 because the barrel is useless to a collector and the stock has had to have been cutdown also so the only useable parts to a collector would be the action,bolt and if any original sites remain and possibly the buttplate if original and sling swivel,,if it was drilled and taped for a scope the receiver is no good to a collector so value could be lower,,in a collectors eyes.. if your looking to sell it ,,sell it as a hunting rifle ,
