Because I am too lazy to wade through 4700 past threads on a search, somebody tell me where to find out what all the little "bugs" on my M44 indicate.
It has a Hammer and Sickle surrounded by a laurals near the "top" of the chamber area and numerous stylized very short arrows in ovals (not as pretty as the prewar Tula marks but a simple arrow head over a flettching sort of thing with no details), and interupted diamonds as well as letters such as a cyllric looking y in side a circle and others in interrupted diamonds and next to what appear to be check marks bearing a strong resemblance to one of the inerupted diamons even further poorly stamped.
Without dissasembly I have found a complete serial number on the magazine floor plate and partial matching numbers on the reciever ring ans elsewhere. Unfortunatly the bolt does not match though all stat with AA or something cyllic looking like flat topped A's.
Should I be looking for a date code or actuall number and if so where? I hope I do not bugger anything up pulling off the wood after 17 years!
