---------------------Production for Nazi Germany during World War II
During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, the German forces demanded that Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk build weapons for the German armed forces.[28] They placed large orders for the Krag–Jørgensen, the Colt M1914 (license-produced Colt M1911), and 40 mm anti-aircraft guns. However, production was kept down by sabotage and slow work by the employees. Out of the total of 13,450 rifles ordered by the Germans, only between 3,350 and 3,800 were actually delivered. Early deliveries were identical to the M1894, but with German proof marks and substandard workmanship compared to M1894 produced earlier. During the war the model was altered to be externally more like the German Kar98K. This was achieved by shortening the barrel by 15 cm (6 inches) down to 61.3 cm (24 inches) and shortening the stock by 18 cm (7 inches), and adding a front sight hood similar to that of the Kar98K. These shortened Krag–Jørgensen’s were known in Norway as the Stomperud-Krag.[29] A number of the Krag–Jørgensens manufactured for the Germans have been described as “bastards”, created from mismatched parts left over from previous production.

Experiments with using the German standard issue 7.92Ă—57mm ammunition, a cartridge as powerful as the .30-06 and the modern 7.62 mm NATO,[28] also took place.

While information on the Wehrmacht’s use of the Krag–Jørgensen is hard to find, it is assumed that it was issued primarily to second line units since the Wehrmacht attempted to only issue firearms in standard calibres to front line troops.[28] It was also issued to the Hird—the armed part of Nasjonal Samling (NS) (“National Unity”), the national-socialist party of Vidkun Quisling’s puppet government.[28] It is further likely that the experiments with 7.92 mm ammunition means that the Germans considered a wider use of the Krag–Jørgensen.[28]
