Title: Capsule Magazine?
Post by butlersrangers on Dec 12th, 2018 at 6:05am
I do not recall ever hearing the term "Capsule Magazine", until last week.

Two new KCA members have used this term in videos recently appearing on the KCA forum.

I see this term is also used in the Wikipedia description of the Krag-Jorgensen.

It is applied to the Krag's unique 'wrap around' magazine, which is an integral part of the receiver.

Possibly, this is a European and/or British gun term or classification.

Any thoughts? Has anyone run across the term in U. S. literature, reports, or manuals?
