Based on the pics you posted, it appears to be an M91/30, a refurbed example of a 1930 Izhevsk mated to an earlier Tula receiver.

What it looks like to me too. Tell us what the date is on the underside of the tang. Keep your fingers crossed it may be an antique!

Big Hammer receiver was Tula 1920-28 I think.

Older import 1930 Izhevsk 91/3- with a recycled older receiver. Not unusual, but nice.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Refurbed 91/30 Mosin, if complete and not Bubba'd maybe $200 to $300 these days. No full length picture so we don't know if Bubba got at it or not. More than likely an older reused receiver with a newer barrel tacked on there. Should be good shooter if bore is decent and not shot out. Time for some range time after safety check and disassembly, Enjoy it! Bill

PS looks to have been sanded and refinished too, Whoops not good!
