Not Krags

[edit]

The rifles in this image are not Krags, they are 1895 Winchester-Lee Navy rifles. You can see the fourth man from the left loading his rifle with a clip. The US Army and US Navy did not agree to standardize on the Krag until after the Spanish-American War. This image should also probably be removed from the Krag-Jorgensen article, but I'll start a discussion over there as well. Tenacious Trilobite (talk) 02:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
