1944 Tula 91/30
Here is a '44 Tula 91/30 that has always had me perplexed. You can see that it has been scrubbed. It has some unusual markings. To the left of the star you can see the remains of some circular inspection mark and to the right you can see the remains of a "CH" sniper mark but it it was never tapped for a mount. Underneath the base of the "C" stamp, you can see the crossed Tula hammer inspection mark that the "C" was stamped over. It appears it may have been selected as a sniper at some time after its initial factory inspection. By the way, the bore on this rifle is pristine. I don't think a round had ever gone through it before I got it. The right side has a strange set of markings too that I have seen on a few other rifles.
