no you are not dumb your a member of TFL
Are you looking at cocked vs uncocked? I was looking at the wood on the rifle in the first picture it looks like it has interesting figure.

That is the case in those pictures. The Swedish Mauser has an added upward projection on the cocking piece (supposedly to allow manual cocking without opening the bolt in case of a misfire) so it is more noticeable when the bolt is cocked than the shorter round piece used in other Mausers.
