Recently, I purchased a bolt-action Remington rifle, but I am having difficulty in indentifying same. Here are the known facts: 24" barrel, detachable box-type magazine, caliber is stamped '30 U.S.A.' on top of barrel (30/40 Krag), Lyman front sight (looks original, or a very old addition), patent dates of 8/26/1884, 9/9/1884, 3/17/2885, 1/18/1887 are stamped on side of receiver, Serial #100107 stamped on top of receiver, the bolt has a "quarter cock" kind of safety.The original front sight is missing, but two holes drilled in the top of barrel approx. 2" apart remain. The stock appears original, but may have been shortened (only evidence for this is that the fore end of the stock has a hole that looks as though it would have been for a cleaning rod. I can find absolutely no markings anywhere on the firearm to indicate the model name or number, or any sort of military ownership. Any help is appreciated
