It was designed by Norwegian military officers Ole Herman Johannes Krag and Erik Jørgensen, and subsequently adopted by Norway, Denmark, and the United States. The Army began testing bolt action designs in the 1870s and 1880s, but it wasn't until the trials in 1892 that the Krag Jorgensen became the new standard issue longarm.

Despite the advent of repeating long guns such as the Spencer carbine and the Henry rifle, Springfield remained consistent and proficient in their production. Production evolved from single-shot muskets-rifles to single-shot Springfield Trapdoor breech-loading rifles, the latter of which remained the standard infantry rifles and carbines for the U.S. Until the late 19th century, standard infantry weapons were manufactured primarily at Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts.
