Thats a Yugo breech. Commonly called " safety breeched"

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

It clear the bolt it almost has to be a Yugo. The Yugo does not have the full projection opposite extractor...Or the bolt really has been modified to remove the projection of the left locking lug.

No..there;s no modification...I never saw this on any Mauser I took apart, including Yugos, but always fun to learn and see something new. BTW this is an old FN with C ring

Takes a pretty damned small beer can if you ask me. You sure it isn't part of a beer can crusher?
