The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

And a few others.

And this ishevsk mark on the bolt matches the one on the receiver

A hollow star located on the side of the receiver.

Here is an upclose pic of the "crossed hammers"

Three of them have the gap under the rear site. The mark does look like two crossed hammers in a circle, but it could be a poorly stamped hammer and sickle. There are small stamps all over this rifle, even in the wood. I will try to get a few upclose pics with my usb microscope sometime and post the...

There were actually 5 hex receivers in the crate and 2 very nice round tulas that were very nicely finished.
