    It's fair to say at this point that there is no heavenly reason at all why a bolt lever should be or even needs to be ground away on the underside. But if it is, it's not important to the structure of the bolt. But you cannot 'over lock' the bolt. Once the stud on the cocking piece is aligned with the long cam groove in the bolt, it's locked!
