The Belgian Mauser 1889/16 is a carbine variant of the 1889 rifle, weighing 8.3 lbs and measuring 41.1 inches. It features a smooth cock-on-close action, a turned-down bolt handle for faster operation, and retains the original flag safety and barrel jacket. Key differences include a double-loop barrel band and a smaller tangent ladder rear sight tailored for the carbine's dimensions. Recoil is manageable despite the lighter weight, making it a more user-friendly universal carbine.
The Danish 1889 Krag-Jorgensen rifle features a unique barrel jacket designed for free-floating, aiming to improve accuracy. It utilizes the 8x58mmR cartridge and has a distinctive side-loading magazine door. The bolt action is notably smooth, with a single locking lug, and its removal process is unconventional, requiring lifting the extractor.
