Replacing the Krag was bullshit.

Replacing the Krag was bullshit. There was a two-lug Krag in the 1890s that was offered to both America and Norway, but "muh cost" was the factor that killed it. So naturally the army was happy to spend much more money designing an entirely new rifle instead of just improving the design they already had.
Give it a second lug, up the powder load, and drop the bullet weight to 160 grains, and it'll perform just as well as any Mauser.
>muh outdated rimmed ammo
The .30-40 was designed from the beginning with both rimmed and rimless versions. No excuse.

    Too complex, the simpler mauser won out only to be benched for a war 15 years later then dusted off for the next big war to be benched again by the Garand.
    The "standardization" era was some shit but when you have money it doesn't really mean much.

        The internals alone were some shit compared to the mauser so everyone agreed less moving parts = more reliable.

    It's funny how every american service rifle has been a stolen design, but they somehow make it worse, in the case of the krag it's the weak round and weak action with a single locking lug.

We were robbed of the better Kel-Tec that would've run on cocaine made of Cthulhu's dandruff because the fricking Soviets kept him locked up at Tula. That's why none of his designs entered production, Russia (and Euros in general) can't innovate weapons like we do. Anyone among them who can get's squashed down and forced to file paperwork instead of realizing their dreams.

      amerimutts in general are bad at making rifles. The M14 and its derivatives are a hilarious shit show. The M60 is comical in how much of an abomination it is. The AR-15 design only stuck around for "muh modularity" when superior designs like the AUG eclipse it in literally every way. And don't get me started on handguns.

        Except being more modular, having a better trigger, and being half the price. Plus, the aug isn't even ambi unless you buy a different bolt, an embarrassing design choice for any bullpup. The AUG isn't even in the top 5 best alternatives to the AR.

    Norway used the Krag from 1894, and the last of them were still Home Guard issue in the early 1960s. During ww2 occupation the Germans forced the factories in Norway to keep manufacturing it for Wehrmacht second line units.

    It is a good, solid weapon. I have one. The mechanism is smooth and reliable. But the fact is, compared to a k98 Mauser there are issues. The smaller 6.5x55 caliber is one thing but more serious is that you have to hand feed it one and one bullet, whereas you can shove in an entire clip with the Mauser. This means that all your ammo must be in loose rounds. Manufacturewise the Mauser requires fewer parts and fewer manufacture steps, making it cheaper and faster to make. Also it takes less training. Finally, it is more difficult to mount a scope on a standard Krag than on a standard k98.

    I've rebuilt both a 96 Krag and an 03 Springfield from stripped receivers, and I regularly compete with both at CMP vintage rifle matches. I also own an 89 Danish Krag with a 2 lug bolt, if that matters at all.
    First, if you look at the complexity of the US Krag receiver versus the Springfield, you will notice that it is massively more complicated to manufacture
    Second, stripper clip loading on the Springfield is a huge improvement over the dump loading of the Krag, and the rimmed ammo and vertical ejection only add insult to injury. I can tell you from my competition experience that my scores are on average 10 points higher with the Springfield primarily due to the lack of drama during the rapid-fire stages, which include a mandatory reload on the clock.
    I love the Krag and enjoy competing with it, but the 03 is a dramatic improvement in a variety of significant ways, and no amount of realistic improvements to it would bring it up to the 03's level or down to the 03's manufacturing cost.
