Call me slow. As we say here in Maine "wicked slow". Is this thread about the existence of a specific model of Krag called a "Magazine Rifle", no more, no less? If so, why the reluctance to accept it? If that is not what this thread is about stop reading here.

I totally get the fact that there are a pile of Krags with the words "Magazine Rifle" appended to the model, that has been clearly shown but that only obfuscates the fact that, tucked in there, between the 1892 and the 1896 is a rifle that is termed a "Magazine Rifle", no more, no less just "Magazine Rifle".

If someone digs into the pyramids or a tomb and finds a hitherto unknown gem or artifact we all rejoice, right?

Am I the only one that has gone over to Joe's site and seen the evidence of the "Magazine Rifle"? It appears irrefutable to me.

Seems to me like someone has dug into the tomb and found a pretty cool artifact and we need to update our database.

Those transitional rifles were indeed transitional rifles and by god, they had a model designation and it was "Magazine Rifle".
