Title: Re: Magazine Rifle
Post by Ned Butts on May 1st, 2018 at 10:40am
What do you suppose that the government call them then? They are Magazine Rifles, as are most Krags, but they have multiple upgrades on the 1892 and not all that justified (in the eyes of the government) a new model 1896 designation. So it seems that they are listed as what they are Transitional Magazine Rifle with no year designation. That would seem to be too much of a "mouth full" even for the government. Had the remainder of changes to 1896 configuration not happened so quickly it is likely these could have actually been Magazine Rifle Model 1895. Thus we have another governmental "grey area"
IMHO
