New guy here. Not really new, I have been kicked around for quite a while. I joined a couple of years ago and have been lurking since. I have two sporterized Krags, a rifle and a carbine and thoroughly enjoy shooting cast in them.

In addition to older firearms, I have an assortment of older reloading manuals. Many mention the potential failure of the Krag bolt lug and recommend inspection before shooting. My question is how to go about this. Is a simple visual, perhaps with magnification sufficient, or should the bolt be magnafluxed or some other means be used?
