'JWWFM': I recommend you remove your Krag's barreled action from the stock. Remove the side-plate and do a visual and tactile inspection of the cartridge feed-path. With the magazine-door closed, Push the follower/carrier inward and test smoothness and spring function. (Follower should project out of the side of receiver, when side-plate is off). It does not take tremendous spring pressure to feed the Krag, just a full range of motion.

Turn the 'head' of the Magazine-door hinge pin, gently lifting up on its flat spring. It rotates open like a door and exposes the tip of the follower/magazine-door spring, where it engages the cam of the follower/carrier arm (clean and lightly lubricate this contact point).

Clean all surfaces with Hoppes #9 on patches and Q-tips. Work the magazine cut-off and observe how it functions. Remove all hardened grease from metal parts and check for obstructions, bent or damaged parts, and burrs. Lightly! lubricate metal surfaces with a film of CLP on a dampened patch.

I hope this helps you.
