Editing Krag–Jørgensen (section)

=== Modified for belt feed ===
The factory museum at Kongsberg Weapon Factory preserved a prototype of an M1894 modified for belt feed. Although no documentation has been uncovered, it's clear that the rifle has been modified at an early stage in the manufacturing process to use the same feed belts that were used on the [[Hotchkiss machine gun|Hotchkiss]] [[heavy machine gun]] in use in the Norwegian Army at the time.<ref name="NMG-21" />

The backward and forward movement of the bolt operates a mechanism that moves the belt through the receiver, presenting fresh rounds for the weapon. While this may have been advantageous while fighting from fixed fortifications, it cannot have been very practical for the user of the rifle to carry a long feed belt with him in the field. Even so, it is an interesting and early attempt to increase the firepower of the Krag–Jørgensen.<ref name="NMG-21" />
