Smooth reversal
The recoil lug, also called the stock cross bolt, is a steel fastener that passes sideways through the forend of the Mauser Karabiner 98k stock. It sits just behind the front action screw. The rifle's barrelled action rests against it, so it takes the rearward thrust of firing and carries it into the stock. That keeps the load off the rear action screw and the wrist, where stocks otherwise tend to split. The design came from the Gewehr 98 and was carried over to the K98k and related Mauser-pattern rifles, including the G33/40 and G43/K43. It is a two-part assembly: a bolt with a round or cylindrical head, and a threaded retaining disc on the opposite side of the stock. The disc has two small holes for a pin spanner. The lug is normally left in the stock unless the stock is being repaired. Collectors tell variants apart by head shape, with some Mauser patterns having a wedge-like head and the G/K43 a plain cylindrical one. Other points are the finish, any ordnance marks, and whether the bolt comes with its disc. Because the parts are similar across Mauser patterns, fit and period correctness should be checked against the intended rifle.
