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.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.
I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.
Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?
I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
