hi lads, just got my mosin out and wanted to ask about the markings, as it has alot, the pictures are as clear as i could get em.
Any info is aprecated, I have taken the scope off so that I could get good pics of the rec. The marking on the bolt I am particulary interested in.
cheers DB

Looks like refurbed 1929 Tula ex-Dragoon. Not sure as for the JR mark on bolt, is it the guy who modified the handle?

The JR marking is used by our own Jim "Boltman" Roberts to identify the replica sniper or custom bolts he produces.

ah ! , i see, thanks very much, so this bolt was done in the U.S ?

A box with straight line from corner to corner is refurbishment mark for wooden parts. Funny thing that it's stamped to your barrel

An arrow in a triangle is an Izhevsk factory mark (post 1928) there seems to be one in your magazine.

"N" is a black powder proof mark.

"K" is a point of aim proof mark.
