The New U. 5. Magazine RIae.

The New U. 3. Magazine Rifle.
In speaking of the new maga-
zine rife adopted by the govern
ment the Scientific American
says:
"rhe gun finally selected is a
modification of what has been
heretofore known as the Krag-
Jorgensen gun, adopted by Den
mark for its army, but the piece
has been considerably changed to
meet the severe tests required by
the board. The bolt differs from
the Danish gun in the absence of
a half-cock notch on the cooking
piece and the introduction of a
safety lock similar to that on the
German and several small arms.
It is difficult to imagine a more
trying series of tests than those to
which the different arms before
the board were subjected, and in
all of which the finally selected
piece proved it's eminent superori-
ty. The gun was first fired twenty
shots from the shoulder, magazine
loaded, and held in reserve till the
last; then as rapidly as possible
for two minutes, both as single
loader and as a magazine. An en-
duranee test of 500 continuous
rounds, without cleaning, followed
both with using the magazine and
holding it in reserve. Afterward
the piece was exposed in a mechan-
ical dust box to a most severe
dusting, and then tested after sim
ply wlping with the bare hand.
Still further tests consisted in
thoroughly rusting the breech
mechanism, and then firing the
arm in this condition, while wet
other tests were made by using
defective cartridges in the gun,
to determine its liability to being
permanently disabled from such
cause, as occasionally happens in
actual service.
Before the question of selecting
the best breech mechanism was
submitted to the board, the wal
department had fixed upon O.3O oI
an inch caliber Of the new rife
instead of 045 of an inch, the ole
standard. 1t had also settled upor
the length of the barrel, the twis
of the rifing, the number anC
