Part ID Help - Looks Military

[Jkrem]

Can anyone identify this mystery part? It appears very well machined, and the only definite marking I can find is a “14”. Perhaps a “7” too. I love challenging the brain trust here.

Probably a bayonet retaining socket for a Mosin Nagant M 44 or Chinese M 53.
They made two typed of nubs on the end for the M 44.
But these match one of my model 44's as well as my M 53

LAGS wins, it appears to be a Type 2 Mosin Nagant M44 bayonet “collet” from some pictures online. Thanks everyone!
