Re: Type A Mauser in 9.3x62

Fantastic rifle but that Recoil Lug is an eyesore. It needs to be blued to match the other metal.
Mine has similar recoil luv, but it seems to be made of brass, so it can’t be blued. It doesn’t bother me at all.
My Type A 404 has three cross bolts inserted in the stock, all coloured epoxy filled to blend nicely with the stock finish.
Agree the finish of the single crossbolt on the 9.3x62 tends to draw the eye, three like that would definitely distract from a nice original stock. I don't know that any of the Type A Mausers had crossbolts from the factory so anything done to change the finish of them is not modifying an 'original' fitting if wanting to preserve as an untouched collector.
