Matching scope and reciever? Is this correct
Does this seem correct? The same number on the scope as on the reciever? Thanks

Yes, looks like a rearsenal match, but more is need to determine it 100%

Re: Matching scope and reciever? Is this correct
Ok,
Here are some more photos
Now I take this isn't a wartime stock for a 1944 correct? The buttplate has a different sn than the gun.
Also was that the scope that it left the factory with in 1944 or was it added much later? I usually see them crossed out not re added. The font stamped on the reciever looks off to me not sure? Also why does the mount have a different sn from the rifle sn?
Thanks

It isnt a war time stock and may not even be an arsenal replacement. I saw this one on line and the Chinese butt plate is the 1st thing that threw up red flags.
Good close ups of the scope number on the barrel shank will help determine more on the scope number but the font looks like the type some arsenals used during replacement.

Okay hmmm? That is odd? I know it's not common for the scope to match the reciever? Also isn't that a rare scope too..
Thanks

The scope is a Kazan produced scope ( NKV 237) and was produced in 1943, not common, about 4% of production that year iirc

Re: Matching scope and reciever? Is this correct
Very interesting thanks! I had a really nice light refurb mosin I bought a few years back. I sold it and I wish I didn't. Is there any mosins that have not seen any factory refurbishment? I have to yet see one. I know alot of the ones from Vietnam still saw refurbishment over the years. This was my old one. I'm still kicking myself... Looking for another.

As said, the stock is not good. The scope is a refurbished SVT 38/40, so at least in production it predates the rifle. If calibrated for the 91/30 it will have “CB” stamped on the dials. The mount is also mismatched, but looks original. The ‘44 Izhevsk rifle looks good to me. In today’s market, not a bad rifle at all. Just get a better stock!
