Krag Jorgensen carbine, maybe?

Thanks and checked it out.
This on is smooth on the outside whereas the Krag is contoured

Appreciate the input ☺

That's what I found on every modern military rifle band I looked at too. I'm thinking this might be older, like for a muzzle stuffer rifle, or maybe even a pistol.

I am having a buddy send me his Smith Carbine--think they look awful similar.  I'll do a comparison 
Never thought of a pistol good idea as well
