[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2474771, member: 27307"] Good Morning! The block appears to be one used for bending bolt handles. This was a common practice when Mausers came with the original straight bolts. The bolts could be bent to allow adding scopes to the rifle. It was a waste of time in my opinion because the handle always came up shorter and it was a PIA. Here is a description: [URL]https://www.brownells.com/userdocs/learn/bt002011.pdf[/URL] I gave up bending bolts and just cut them off and welded on new ones in the right position. Much better looking and a perfect length. :) [/QUOTE]
