The recoil lug on the German Karabiner 98k is the steel cross bolt that passes through the stock behind the recoil shoulder. It is often called the stock cross bolt. The Kar98k was the standard Wehrmacht service rifle from 1935, and it kept the Mauser 98 layout. The cross bolt gives the underside of the receiver a hard bearing surface. It spreads recoil forces into the stock and reduces the load on the rear action screw. This helps prevent splits in the wrist of the wood stock. The part has two components. A shaped bolt with a head goes through the stock from one side. A round retaining nut or washer on the opposite side has two small holes for a pin-type spanner. The nut sits flush in the stock, and the part normally stays in place during routine field stripping. Collectors and restorers use these parts to repair or complete rifles. Reference discussions mention differences in head and body shape, including cylindrical and wedge-style forms, as well as differences in finish. Related designs, such as the one on the G/K43, are similar but not necessarily interchangeable. Wartime parts were usually blued or blackened.
