The Krag-Jørgensen rifle, also known as the Krag, was the standard United States Army service rifle in the late 19th century. The Krag was designed by the Norwegian military officer, Ole Herman Johannes Krag and Erik Jørgensen, a Danish gunsmith.

The Krag is unique in that it has a side-mounted magazine, which holds up to five rounds of ammunition. To load the magazine, the operator would first make sure that the rifle is unloaded and the magazine cut-off is in the "off" position. The operator would then open the magazine door by pushing open the door to the right. The operator would then insert the cartridges, with the pointed end of the bullet facing forward, into the magazine one by one. Once the magazine is full, the operator would close the magazine door and pull back the bolt to chamber a round.

Despite its many advancements, the Krag was eventually replaced by the Springfield Model 1903. However, it remains an important part of American military history and a significant example of the evolution of firearms technology.
