Look it up on YouTube. It is easier to understand than text description.
Krag actually has 2 lugs. The bolt handle is extra insurance. However, to improve part interchangibility, US krag has the 2nd lug (in front of bolt handle) not bearing, so it works the same as the bolt handle. Norwegian krag has both lugs bearing. Some US krags, both two of mine do, bears on both lugs. It could be result of wear due to normal use, or the previous owners might have ground down the primary lug. The price to pay is a bit more head clearance (have to be terminlogically correct here).
Carefully inspection of old rifle of this vintage is always a good advice.
