[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2937120"] That's the funny thing about markings, have you had it out of the stock and looked at the bottom of the receiver? Compared it to other actions? Some M38 were converted over to M44 and save for markings on the bottom of the receiver which help to tell when the receiver was made you don't know. Did your rifle go thru refurbishment, many were done in ukraine and have a small mark on the stock, is your stock laminated, blond or dark. Was it issued to one of the various Warsaw Pacts or did it sit in War Reserve in the Soviet Union? There are a lot of small marks some on the metal some on the wood, that can tell you chapter and verse where a Moisin-Nagant has been and even slight variations in furniture and metal, bayonet, screws, bayonet lock even style and slight variations of the bayonet itself. Mausers and Moisin-Nagants have more variations than dog's seemingly have fleas, so while it may seem to be a plain Jane vanilla rifle. I would still recommend some research, you never know. [/QUOTE]
