>Also "less than perfect metallurgy" is a period-correct stand-in for whatever Sig-Saar clusterfuck the M7 suffers that we haven't heard about yet.
U.S Krag Rifles weren't stronk enough to handle the hotrodding they wanted to do to try to match the range of 7.92mm Mauser, which is not a problem if you're just sticking to the normal .30-40 U.S Krag load that it was originally built around, it'll last just fine if you do that. That's why American Krags lived a century as hunting rifles just alright, and also why original Norwegian Krags actually handled 6.5mm Swedish and 7.92mm Mauser just fine, their metallurgy was better.
Springfield's metallurgy at the time was just good enough for what the U.S Krag was originally meant to be. Not as good as it should have been, and eventually they fixed that with the Springfield 1903, but it was good enough to work with.
Sig Saar's metallurgy today is the least of their problems, rather theirs is sketchy mechanical design and hilariously bad quality control, before we even factor in the bullshit circus that is the NGSW as a concept.
