![]() ![]() The magazine was reduced to 5-rounds, and featured a cutoff switch that prevented cartridges from feeding from the magazine thus making the rifle into a single-shot action. The design was revised over the course of the test, eventually becoming an entirely new design with a single forward locking lug, elongated safety lug/bolt guide, and external claw extractor on top of the bolt. In 1886, the pair submitted a prototype to the Danish military service trials. A hinged gate on the right side of the magazine swung open for loading, simultaneously retracting the spring-loaded magazine follower. They designed a 10-round spring-loaded magazine that sat horizontally beneath the bolt action and wrapped up around the left side of the receiver to feed cartridges into the action. In 1884, Krag and Jørgensen decided to develop an alternative magazine design for the existing Norwegian service rifle, the tube-fed Jarmann rifle.
