I recently noticed that all the Izhevsk rifles in my collection from 1919 to 1923 (total of 5) are built on older receivers.
What I would like to do here is see if anyone can confirm an Izhevsk receiver dated 1918 to 1924. I am not interested in Tula receivers as I've confirmed a couple dated 1920. My theory is that Izhevsk stopped making receivers for a time during the turmoil of the Civil War and just built rifles on receivers from rifles damaged during WWI.
Please post any Izhevsk rifles dated 1918 to 1925 on the barrel and then post the date and arsenal from the tang. If the tang is "scrubbed" post that. If you're not sure about the markings post a picture if possible. Remember, this is Izhevsk only and not Tula. Don't worry about anything beyond 1925 as we already know that Izhevsk made receivers in that year. If you have any rifles dated 1917 or 1918 please include them although I think we'll find that Izhevsk was making receivers in 1917 at least. Models that are candidates for this survey would be M91s, Dragoons, updated Dragoons, and M91/38s. Thank you for any information you can provide. I'll start:
1919 Izhevsk Dragoon, 1913 Izhevsk receiver
1920 Izhevsk Dragoon, 1896 Tula receiver
1921 Izhevsk Dragoon, 1917 Tula receiver
1923 Izhevsk updated Dragoon, 1895 Sestroryetsk receiver
1923 Izhevsk updated Dragoon, 1917 Tula receiver

Have a Dragoon with a Izhevsk 1923 dated barrel and receiver. The communist symbols have been ground so I'm guessing once it left the USSR it never went back.
