Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 @Dusty Morningwood Het Dusty. Finally getting around to getting that rifle I got from you ready for the range. I know, it has sit virgin in the safe way too long, I am ashamed. anyway, stripped it all the way down to clean it and found a part That I don’t know what it is for. In the receiver, under the barrel threads is this block. It screws into the receiver with only a few threads. The block is tapped thru with some thread that is different than any other threaded fastener on the rifle. Nothing attaches to this block. What was it for? I figure it had to do the military configuration, but what was it? Did the cleaning rod screw in here, or was this part of the sling mount? I figure you might know.

Dusty Morningwood Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You are correct that cleaning rod screwed into it. Kind of like an appendix now. Neither helps nor hurts function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Great! Thanks for the confirmation, that was my first thought about it. Was very curious about it, curse of being an engineer, I tend to ask why, how and what about things I ain’t too sure about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 That's a right handsome piece there, Barney and Dusty! What's it chambered for? History...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 This one is chambered in 12.7x44r. Think 50-70… it is danged close and shoots the same bullets. this one is Swedish, made by husquvarna in 1874 in a military config (full stock) and if I get understand correctly was rimfire version. It was sporterized at some point, and was converted to center fire for the civilian market. when I get to a range, I’ll let y’all know how it did!
