What action inlet is this?

[grouse]

Anyone know what this is? It’s flat with a pillar through the recoil lug. It’s not a howa.

Mauser 98 is the first thing that comes to mind.

Is the rear portion of the inlet top secret?

Agree. Rounded front trigger inlet looks to match the sear.

 

[noremorse92]

Yeah. M98 of some denomination. Odd that there's a front pillar as all the m98 bottom metal I've seen have an integral pillar for the front bolt.

 

[bbhank]

what is the dimension between the action screw? looks like a howa maybe, something flat bottom for sure

 

[grouse]

it’s not a howa. I test fit one.

 

[Terry Cross]

It's def some variant of an M98.
