The likely explanation for the erroneous Criterion website copy is that it was written by some geek who knew squat about either Krags or their barrels. Poor Webfoot just assumed they would be chambered like their .30/06 barrels.

30-40 Krag

Original .30-40 Krag contour in rifle length (30") and carbine length (22"). These barrels have the receiver threads cut and timed. Holes are drilled and tapped for the rear sight (8-32). Both the extractor cut milled and front dovetail are milled. Furnished in the white, these barrels are short chambered and ready to be installed by a qualified gunsmith.
