The recoil lug on the Karabiner 98k, also called the stock cross bolt, is a steel bolt that passes sideways through the stock directly behind the front of the action. It is not the same as the recoil lug machined under the receiver. The receiver lug bears against the cross bolt when the rifle fires. This spreads the recoil force over a wider area of the stock and helps protect the wrist from splitting. The design carries over from the Gewehr 98 and was used throughout K98k production in the Wehrmacht period. Standard examples have a threaded shaft and a round nut with two holes on one side, which is removed with a pin spanner. Earlier examples often have a wedge- or flat-sided centre section and may carry small inspection marks. Collectors usually describe wartime-simplified examples as a late type. These are generally unmarked and have the end fixed by a riveted or button-weld method instead of a freely removable nut, which suits the faster, cheaper production of 1944–45. Identification rests on the head and end construction, the presence or absence of markings and the shape of the shaft.
