    Notch in right side of Type 38 Rifle and Carbine Stock?

    I have been puzzling over the purpose of the stock 'Notch' on the right-side (near the receiver ring) on Type 38 Arisakaicon rifles and carbines. Is this for 'gas escape'? (That's the only thing I can think of). Other reasons or thoughts?
