IMHO - The term "Magazine Rifle" simply means a 'Repeating Arm' that has a reserve of ammunition held in a tubular, box or detachable magazine.

All Krag models, (with the exception of the single-shot .22 cal. rifles, Mann Devices, and maybe sub-caliber artillery devices), are Magazine Rifles.

"Magazine Rifle" was used in Ordnance Manuals both alone and in conjunction with specific models, (such as, Model 1898 rifle).

The term "Magazine Rifle" does not exclusively identify U.S. Krag-Jorgensen rifles that seem transitional and have features that carry-over or deviate from the "pure models".

These 'transitional' arms may have lost interchangeability and deviate significantly from the parent arm, but, "Magazine Rifle" is too generic a term to exclusively define these interesting variations - IMHO.
