Arms and Ammunition Plans for Future War Needs
Brigadier General Crozier told the House Military Affairs Committee that the United States can arm 731,000 infantry with rifles and is replacing Krag Jorgensen rifles with the model of 19. About 531,000 of the new rifles are in use or on hand, with Krags stored for emergency or militia use. Daily production could reach 1,500 rifles with two shifts. The nation holds 60 million Krag rounds and 22 million rounds for the new model. Experiments proceed on safer, more effective explosives as the ordnance budget seeks 4 million dollars.
