There were 2 NY trials. The 1st (1892) was the US Ordnance Trials. The rifle was the Colt produced Savage 1892. It was chambered in .30-40 Krag.

The 2nd (1895) was the National Guard Trials which Savage submitted 100 1895's.

The original author of the info posted above took the two tests and mixed it all into one. David found this same info when writing his book but we got it squared away before it was published.
