I recently came across reasonably priced Yugoslavian captured German Mauser. After 30+ minutes of internal debate (Do I need a third 8mm? Is the bolt and receiver solid? Was this Mauser made at the end of WWII when quality control was waining? etc.) I bought it.
When I got home and performed an "arsenal-grade" cleaning, I noticed these marks:
I wasn't eyeballing this part of the rifle when I was evaluating it. I have a very good idea what they are (lets just call it "keeping score"), but apparently I don't know what they're called. I haven't found much on the internet about them.
Now since this is a Yugo capture, this opens up a lot of possibilities as to who did them: German, Serb, Croatian, someone else?
Are they what I suspect, and guesses on who did them?
