IIRC the Krag was officially described as a "magazine " rifle, the older use of magazine meant a fixed location where ammunition was stored.
TR Jr. fought in both World Wars so he's entitled to use whatever terms he wants.
Our friendly old M-1 Carbine is not strictly speaking a "carbine", it shares nothing with the M-1 Rifle, not even the ammo. But we have lived with that designation all these years.
