I’ve seen/handled more than a few, never seen one like it. is this the front or back side? I can envision several problems that may come from using it, I’d look for another. more photos might help w/better ID. The ‘J’, are you certain its not an ‘f’ ? ‘f’ marked lugs are common on bcd rifles, its the subcontractor code.
I'll tear one apart and take photos tonight.
could we see an ‘above’ view? the ‘head’ of the lug should always be on the left, nut on right. on most lugs I’ve seen, there is an ever-so-slight chamfer on the upper front edge, by which you can tell front from back of the lug. there are 3 basic types: 1) 1 piece, head is tapered top to bottom to match the curvature of the stock 2) 1 piece, head not tapered 3) 2 piece, a washer & ‘bar’ of lug is headed over to hold the washer still has nut on right end (late war type) no taper to head.
thank you for checking, it was a good thought.
No problem. Just throwing out ideas, no evidence to support it but did the Norwegians ever use K98's for target/competition shooting? I don't know the theory that the Swedes had for doing such a thing on the CG-63 but the rifles were purpose built for precision and that's the only other place I've seen that sort of 'feature'. Maybe some sort of scandanavian trade secret
Should be some Swedish Mauser groups on Facebook that ya can ask about thatNo problem.
