The Marga Trials Rifle was a competitor in late 1880s Belgian Army trials, ultimately losing to the Mauser Model 1889. Its design featured rear locking lugs, a V-spring firing pin, and a tension-based ladder sight, elements that were becoming obsolete with the advent of smokeless powder. While it incorporated a useful magazine cutoff for single-shot firing, its technical shortcomings led to its failure in trials, though its designer later found success in ammunition.
