"A replica of the McKeever-pattern .30 US Army cartridge case."

I have one of these, not a replica; it came from my grandfather along with the Krag-Jørgensen rifle. Themathkid (talk) 20:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict with Winchester Model 1895

Winchester Model 1895

In the .30-40 Krag article it states that "...it was one of only three rounds chambered for the 1895 Winchester lever action, introduced in 1896." While the Winchester Model 1895 page has nine different cartridges it is chambered for. One of them has to be wrong, and I suspect it is this one. It is more likely that Winchester chambered that gun for as many cartridges as they could in order to sell more.

I may be wrong, but I believe what was intended was to say that the .30-40 Krag was one of only three rounds originally chambered for the 1895 Winchester. There is no doubt that the 1895 was subsequently chambered for other rounds, so any other interpretation would be spurious. In support, I note that the image on the 1895 Winchester page of the original advertisement from Winchester shows it as being chambered for only three rounds at the time -- one of which is the .30-40.
