Actually, it's not a mystery for me - it's ID of repair depot. Currently I don't find documents that identify to which depot it belongs (but I suppose to which). Until I find document about this, I will not publish this info
With a short sentence you just collapsed the byzantine theory's of hundreds of collectors who have been wondering about that marking for years. I did warn them that it would turn out to be something ordinary, oh well, woe be it on them who paid a good premium for the MO market rifles thinking they belonged to some special unit, or secret operation. Sorry guys, life sucks and then you die, man up and deal with it.
I'm just a human, and also can be wrong. So untill I will have a document, this will be just my opinion

For whatever reason, I am just know viewing this video. The tools you acquired, especially the front sight tool, are very interesting. I think I would know how to use the sight tool (although my Elby tool is more than functional for my shooting purposes), but the other tools -- I don't have a clue. Thanks for posting.

You have access to the original source material and can read it in the original language. When it comes to this subject I will take your educated guess over other peoples " facts".
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

The sight tool is pretty obvious, it just slides on like the Elby tool and you turn the knob. The other gauges I managed to figure out after some study and research. I am not a gunsmith, but you don't have to be one to use these gauges. The gunsmith skill comes in after the gauges indicate there is a problem.

That made me literally LOL. Glad I never was one to pay for markings.
