K98 stock "holes"

[Flying10uk]

Save the conjecture and just search for a German barracks rifle rack for the K98. You'll see they're set back like described above. No rods through the butt. This is exactly how these rumors start. Hunt through the internet and on all forums this is exactly the same answer. No rod through the butt.

I haven't got the time or the inclination to start searching the internet for information on something that may not exist. Sarge suggested that the butt holes may have also been used to lock the rifles to the rack and I have tried to figure out how this may have worked and looked in practice and in an alternative way to having a long rod running through the butts. I didn't automatically assume that Sarge was wrong.

Neither did I. See post 15...
