Editing Krag–Jørgensen (section)

=== Subtypes of the Krag–Jørgensen used in the United States ===
There were at least nine different models of the American Krag–Jørgensen:

* ''M1892 rifle'', is {{convert|49|in|mm}} in overall length weighing 9.3 pounds with a 30-inch (760&nbsp;mm) barrel and a magazine cut off that operates in the up position. It can be identified by the cleaning rod under the barrel. Because it took two years to retool for production, Model 1892 Krags have receivers dated "1894." Most of the M1892 rifles were arsenal reconditioned to the Model 1896 configuration.<ref name="canfield"/>
* ''M1892 carbine'', presumably a prototype, as just two are known today. Looks like the M1892 rifle, but with a 22-inch barrel, including the long stock, and one-piece cleaning rod.
*''M1896 rifle'', where the magazine cut-off operates in down position and a three-piece cleaning rod is stored in a butt trap. An improved rear sight and tighter production tolerances gave better accuracy. Stock altered slightly (made thicker). This model figures prominently in the first part of Andrew Krivak's novel, ''[[The Sojourn]]''.
* ''M1896 cadet rifle'', which was fitted with cleaning rod like M1892 rifle. Only about 400 were made before it was discontinued. The [[cadet rifle]] did not have sling swivels, and the lower band was retained by a band spring.
* ''M1896 carbine'', with the same modifications as the M1896 rifle.
* ''M1898 rifle'', generally much like M1896, but with a wide range of minor changes, including reconfiguring the bolt handle recess to simplify receiver manufacture, reversing the operation of the magazine cut-off lever, and (beginning in 1901) providing windage adjustment on the rear sight.<ref name="canfield"/>
* ''M1898 carbine'', same minor modifications as the M1898 Rifle. Only 5000 made, originally had the same short stock (rear sight touches band) as the Model 1896 carbine; most were restocked as Model 1899s.
* ''M1899 carbine'', generally the same as the M1898 carbine, but with a slightly longer forearm and hand guard, and without the swivel ring. Most of the M1898 carbines were arsenal reconditioned to the Model 1899 configuration and fitted with windage-adjustable rear sights.<ref name="canfield"/>
* ''M1899 constabulary carbine'', built for use in the Philippines. Basically a M1899 carbine fitted with a full-length stock and a bayonet lug, and the muzzle stepped down to accept bayonet.

A few prototype Model 1898 sniper rifles were assembled with Cataract telescopic sights for limited testing. In 1901, 100 Model 1898 rifles, and 100 Model 1899 carbines were fitted with a Parkhurst clip loading attachment to test use of Mauser-type stripper clips. In 1902, 100 rifles were made with {{cvt|26|in}} barrels in an effort to develop one model acceptable to both infantry and cavalry. The so-called ''NRA carbines'' were rifles cut down to carbine length for sale to members of the [[National Rifle Association of America]] beginning in 1926 as a means of keeping skilled armoury workmen employed at [[Benicia Arsenal]].<ref name="canfield"/>
