I was surprised when I disassembled this Mauser 98 that the front end of the stock comes apart at the barrel band. None of the schematics I've seen indicate this is correct, but it appears to be made this way. Can anyone educate me on whether this is correct, or some modification gone awry? I have a few more pics if it will help.
