OMG: shoot me now!. Of course it is a 33-40; I just saw the WaA 63 and immediately knew that was Mauser. I didn't even look at the receiver, OR remember that the WaffenAmpt unit 63 was also at BRNO. I am mortified at this overlook, and will be suitably chastised for the blunder. I am writing my official letter of reprimand now and a copy will be placed in my personnel file.
I do know what a 33-40 is; I have 4 of them.

At battery, the right lug should be at six and the left at 12. The bevel seen in the cutaway may be the one that cams the right lug into its seat (not visible in the photo).

Samberman,
I see the bevel you are looking at. There is no right lug contact at 6 o'clock. The right lug is at the 3 o'clock position when bolt is in the closed position. Does that answer your question?

Metal, is that lower lug abutment the way the usually look at 6 o'clock? It doesn't look as though it would contact the lug, even at the bottom.

It seems to me that if a G/33/40 can have its receiver sliced in half and rewelded and its bolt cut in half and soldered, then it should be able to withstand having a tiny hole filed with weld and done up into a fine custom sporter.
