What is this cutout near the bolt release on older Mauser actions? My initial thought was for loading rounds from a stripper clip. Then I saw an action that had the cutout but nothing for a stripper clip. Thanks

Maybe the stripper clip notch was machined off?
 
It is for stripper clip on mil spec action. Many custom sporters milled off the stripper notches since they are not needed.
 
Thanks y’all. I guess it makes sense to have it milled off if it isn’t needed.

That is not an Echols rifle but a clone as it has the Echols stock and all the bells and whistles. Lon Paul who built the rifle does great work.

Mark - I think you have a CZ 404 Jeff in synthetic stock. Is this factory spec. or you switched the stock? thx
