I would not remove metal from a Krag bolt locking-lug. I see no point in removing surface hardness.

Maybe a KCA member will swap a nice used bolt with you.

I assume the lug recess in the action is clean with no heavy buildup of grease and crud.

It is unusual for a Krag action to have resistance closing on a .30-40 cartridge rim.

Do you have access to another Krag bolt, to try?
