Just rummaging around the other day and spotted this. Any Idea what the "И" on the receiver means, if anything?

What's the tang date? I've seen it on a few other rifles and iirc they were early ones.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.
