Default Re: "X"

I read somewhere that the "X" was supposed to be crossed rifles. That's why the lines are wider at the bottom of the "X". It was a Russian acceptance mark put on after

"reconditioning", prior to putting the weapon into

storage. Both of my K98's have that mark, and they were Russian "reworks".
