Default Krags in WW1?

The other night I was watching a special on the Yankee Division in WW1 and they had a lot of original film footage in the show. In one scene they show three US infantrymen in a shell hole and it looks for all the world like one is firing a Krag. I suspect this is actually film of a National Guard Unit training stateside. However, I've read that some of the earliest US troops to get deployed took their NG rifles over but traded them for French rifles when they got there due to logistics.

Has anyone heard of Krags actually seeing combat in WW1?
