Does that read "MO" beneath the "1939" on your rifle's receiver? If so, that means it's a Ministry of Defense rifle. They're relatively rare!

What I don't get is why is there an Izhevsk arsenal marking (the triangle) to the top right of the Tula arsenal marking? Was it manufactured in Tula and refurbished at Izhevsk?

@ElJulioso I can't tell if it's a MO...I thought it was "No." But it is hard to say for sure, that stamp is very small and light. I think the reason for the contradictory arsenal markings is it was mfg'd by Tula and maybe "re-arsenalled" by Izhevsk. The various serial numbers don't match up and several were crossed out and re-stamped to match the serial number on the barrel.
