Gents,

Below is a link from the New York Times, dated 10 June 1893. It is about the "new" service rifle, our beloved Krag.

Enjoy,

Matt

The NYT would dare print an article today on firearms except one that wanted to ban them.

Its suprizing just how often the old New York Times reported on advances in arms designs, and even breakthroughs in propellents, metalurgy, and range finders or sighting systems.
There was a great deal of competition and national pride at stake, so it made for good reading and sold papers.

There are a lot of mistatements in these news articles, but thats to be expected.
