I took a real clear picture today that shows the model 1898 Krag action with the cut-off lever in the 'down' position. The round portion of the cut-off shaft is visible. This blocks the lead cartridge from getting in the path of the bolt.

The second picture shows the flat portion of the cut-off shaft. This allows the lead cartridge and those that follow to pass through to the bolt.
