Russians have a letter that is identical to the English R, but faces to the left. Post photograph.
Ok a few questions on Mosin markings.
I have looked over the bolts of my 91/30's (a couple of '39 Tula's) they are refurbs and both have parts marked with a little circle with an R in th middle. Someone told me this meant Remington. Is this correct?

Could be Remington. http://www.mosinnagant.net/USSR/mosin_nagant_markings.asp
This one faces to the right, my camera will not pic up the marks. I am working on trying to get it to.
Push the Flower icon on the camera for Macro (close ups)....This one faces to the right, my camera will not pic up the marks. I am working on trying to get it to.
Got it to work pics coming up.
Well only one pic came out decent. It is the same arsenal mark as on the other rifle. It looks a lot like the one on the site from my point of view, but then again you guys are better educated on all this good stuff than I am. My other question was:
Could the marking be the doing of bubba? (The rifle is rearsenaled though and the rest of the bolt is made up of legit Soviet parts.)

Ok, that is English R, the best guess is that it is part made by Remington.
Looks like a Remington made part to me too.
The Soviets purchased a couple 100,000 of US made Remingtons. But the parts kinda rare!Well only one pic came out decent. It is the same arsenal mark as on the other rifle.

I thought it looked like the Rem mark but when I got the second M91/30 with the same marking on some of the parts I started to doubt it was a Remington mark. Anybody know how common this is?The Soviets purchased a couple 100,000 of US made Remingtons. But the parts kinda rare!
Correction: The Czar of Russia ordered several million M91 infantry rifles from Remington and New England Westinghouse. Several hundred thousand were shipped to Russia during WWI and used there from 1915 until 1917. The contract ceased when the Russian Revolution occurred.
So American made parts can and do turn up on Finnish and Soviet rifles. The Soviets never purchased Mosins from the United States, although considerable quantities of supplies, trucks, aircraft, and even small arms came via Lend Lease.
