I think that the guy with the Krag should have carried the catridges loose rather in a belt.  The reason the Krag was such a popular sporter in cold country is that you could load it even with mittens on.  Just throw 5 cartridges in the trap door and slam it shut.  I've never seen a rag magazine jam up.

Another point.    Due to their design (two piece stock and uneven flexing of the receiver and rear lug lockup of the bolt), the Mk 1 and Mk 4 Enfields were inherently inaccurate rifles, accurate enough for field use but not for serious target shooting or competition.  I'd pick the Krag every time (although I may be a little prejudice).
