Krag originally did develop his magazine systems to be able to work with a variety of rifle systems. During danish trials the first rifles which used the magazine were the Jarmann, but the idea of pairing it with a Mauser action was also considered. Krag also made experimental magazines for the Gras in the early 1900s to convert it into a 5-round magazine which worked very much like a K-J magazine, but was straight and mounted on the left-hand side of the Gras rather than a capsule that wrapped under the action. Experimental magazines were done with several Lees as well.
