I just picked up kind of an odd mosin and I wanted to try and identify but I was having difficulties finding the markings I posted picture below any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

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.

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!
