Stacking swivel?

[Sgt911]

I just received a 1898 rifle today. The stacking swivel stays back and wont swivel. The ring of the stacking swivel is not round and wont allow it to swivel. This is my first Krag so I Have no idea if that's correct. I could remove and file it but don't wont to ruin piece if it is correct.

Also the pin that goes through the stock at the lower band is missing. Where could I find a replacement and is this just drifted in?
