Took this apart today.

There is remnants of cosmolineicon on the bottom of the receiver and magazine box.

There are no r stamps on the trigger or sear.

The magazine follower and spring are unmarked and blued.

The action is finished in an olive green colour which is very uniform. There is no evidence that the barrel has been replaced; the finish where it joins the action is seamless.

On the front left of the recoil lug the are some stamps including the letter p and the figure 82. There were some other figures in this location but I didn't pay close attention to them.

The barrel has a dull grey/ blue finish.

There is an 8 on the bottom of the stock just behind the barrel band and an E on the end of the stock in front of the bayonet lug.

Interested to hear your thoughts on any/all of these markings.

Thanks for your help.
