The odd looking plate attached to the butt tube (bottom of photo) is a ramp that forces the bolt open on recoil. As the recoil subsides, and the barrel and reciever move forwards again, the fired case is ejected. However, no new round is loaded, so this is not a semi auto.

Nut block visible just below 3 screws. This mates to the tab on the buttstock tube (bottom of photo)
This acts as a guide during recoil.

The 3 screws pass through the tab on the end of the buttstock tube assembly (visible at bottom of photo), and thread into the nut block (silvery thing,too much flash!). It is on edge right now, but it mates to the tab, and allows the action and buttstock to recoil.
