Your rifle, being an 1896, has extra metal around the Bolt Seat that old timers I grew up around regarded as allowing the base of the Bolt Handle to act as a better safety lug than does the 1898 receiver.
That makes the 1896 Krag rifle actually have Two well defined safety lugs on the bolt, and not just One.
That, as Forest Gump would say, is always a Good thing.
