Title: Re: Krag carbine

I almost forgot, that the Philippine army units, scout's in specific were still using the Krag up to WW2. The army re armed them with model 1903 Springfield's by 1915, but the scouts kept the krag carbines for use. After being stationed there I can see why they would want the short carbine over the long Springfield. Jungles and long rifles do not mix well.
