this is hard to find outside of norway, yes, I would take one for my collection of unusual.
find here that the original norwegian krag was strengthen in 1912, must have had some problems.

"M48 Krag Jørgensen elgrifle (Moose rifle). This rifle was first built as an M1912 carbine in 1918, for military use. Later, there were collected 500 locks from that model, and built as M48 hunting rifles. The M1912 lock is slightly stronger than the M1894 action. Since they intended to use a larger cartridge in this new model, they only used these kinds of actions. The rear sight is not very often seen on hunting rifles. The user is able to switch between 100m and 300m by rolling the wheel. Both the M48 and the M51 was built with 7,92 barrels. After a few years, they found out that the standard 7,92x57 ammunition was a bit too hot for the Krag Jørgensen action. Norma then produced a lighter ammunition that they called 7,92x57 moderate. This ammunition is about 10% weaker than standard 7,92x57 rounds. This ammunition went obsolete within not so many years." http://oldkongsbergarms.com/om/hunting%20weapons/m48%20krag%20jorgensen%20elgrifle.html

there was also a M51 Krag http://oldkongsbergarms.com/om/hunting%20weapons/index.html
