It has the bolt. I don't see ka3 but I'm not sure where to look. I also don't get what you mean about the rear sight.

The cross-bolt means it's been through the refurb process, where the rifle was brought up to 91/30 specs. The "KA3" mark would be on the top of the chamber, below the date and S/N. If you look at the rear sight from the side, does the rear sight leaf sit above the notches in the rear sight, or just below the level of those? If the former, it's the updated Konovalov sight, which I strongly suspect will be what you have.

Overall, it sounds as if you got a "modernized" Dragoon rifle, which is still an uncommon variant of the M1891.
