The recoil lug, also called the stock cross bolt, is a steel part fitted through the wrist of the Mauser Karabiner 98k stock, just ahead of the magazine well. Although it works partly as a cross bolt, it bears against the underside of the receiver and spreads recoil from the barreled action into the stock. This keeps recoil off the rear action screw, and overload at that screw is a major cause of split wrists. The design comes from earlier Mauser 98 rifles and was also used on the G/K43 and on later Mauser-pattern rifles. The part has a flat-sided or squared shank. A round head sits on one side, and a threaded end on the other takes a round nut with two spanner holes. The thread end is usually peened over after the nut is fitted. Head shape varies: some examples have a wedge-shaped head, while the G/K43 part has a cylindrical one. Wartime examples were usually blued. Collectors check the head form, the shank profile and any stamped codes. Postwar Yugoslav-marked lugs also exist and are sometimes confused with German ones.
