Below is a link to "Appendix to Journals of Senate and Assembly" for the state of Nevada. Starting on page 11 is an interesting trial of the Krag rifle by National Guard members in 1894. One such remark I found particularly interesting on page 15:
"If, as in the days of the Army of the Potomac, when, with leather collars and burnished barrels, men were drilled to stand up and die like soldiers, but not taught to kill, this rifle is a complete success. But, if on the contrary, it became desirable or necessary to teach men to become masters of their weapons, self-reliant, and how to kill, this rifle is absolutely worthless."
Wow, this must be an old boy from the Civil War with one of the most scathing comments I've read so far on the Krag rifle. Oh, and he didn't like the sights and his men got slight headaches from the fumes of the powder. In closing, he said:
"permit me to suggest that our militiaman requires Americanism, perfect mastership of his weapon, discipline and drill, in order named, and until the principles are thoroughly taught, and as much attention paid to the fitting of a perfect weapon to the man as to the cut of his coat, your militia will not be found available for all purposes nor up to the standard you require."
