Given a locally bounded k-category R and a group $G ⊆ Aut_{k}(R)$ acting freely on R we study the properties of the ideal generated by a class of indecomposable locally finite-dimensional modules called halflines (Theorem 3.3). They are applied to prove that under certain circumstances the Galois covering reduction to stabilizers, for the Galois covering F: R → R/G, is strictly full (Theorems 1.5 and 4.2).
