Good Morning!

The block appears to be one used for bending bolt handles. This was a common practice when Mausers came with the original straight bolts. The bolts could be bent to allow adding scopes to the rifle. It was a waste of time in my opinion because the handle always came up shorter and it was a PIA.

Here is a description:

I gave up bending bolts and just cut them off and welded on new ones in the right position. Much better looking and a perfect length.
