I alwasy heard the reason for the stell lined hole in the K-98 stock was to assist with bolt disassembly in the field. A friend just told me that was a secondary use of the hole. The main use was to allow the passage of a long through bolt that secured the rifles while in there shipping crates. Any truth to that?
