The principal feature of the capsule magazine was that instead of being a straight box protruding below the stock of the rifle, it wrapped around the bolt action. Together they developed the capsule magazine. Not satisfied with the tubular magazine of the Jarmann rifle and his earlier Krag–Petersson rifle (adopted by the Royal Norwegian Navy in 1876), he enlisted the help of master gunsmith Erik Jørgensen. Ole Krag, captain in the Norwegian Army and director of Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (the government weapons factory), therefore continued the development of small arms, as he had since at least 1866. Several nations adopted small calibre repeating bolt-action rifles during this decade.Įven though Norway had adopted the repeating Jarmann rifle in 1884, it was soon clear that it was at best an interim weapon. During this decade smokeless powder came into general use, and the calibre of various service rifles diminished. The 1880s were an interesting period in the development of modern firearms.
