'CodyT' - Welcome to the KCA Forum!

The important things to know are which type of Krag Bolt and which type of Bolt-Sleeve are now on your Krag. This dictates the safety-lever needed.

These parts changed and evolved. Later Krag bolts and sub-parts will sometimes be found on 1894 dated (model 1892) actions.

Close and clear photos of your action, bolt, and bolt-sleeve would beget better answers and more information.

Attached photos show: 1. an earlier type of bolt-sleeve, which uses a cross-pin to retain safety. 2. an early bolt sleeve that was updated to fit a later bolt and late safety-lever. 3. a late safety dismounted from a late bolt-sleeve.

Note the 'ribbing' on the early bolt sleeve bodies and the 'lug' that was eliminated for later bolts.

Early safety-levers had their shaft notched for the cross-pin, which weakened them and made them prone to break. (IIRC - initially the cross-pin hole placement was 'low', but, it was soon raised to allow a stronger safety-shaft).

The later safety-levers were retained by a spring-loaded 'detent', that traveled in a groove on the bolt-sleeve.
