I have a nice short Mosin Nagant that has no-import markings on it and a very clear B stamped on the M-44 style stock. I just noticed there is a different grind on the rear of the receiver than my other M-38's have, in fact it is the only M/N style rifle I have with this flat grind on it (Hum, 1 in 30 odd's). It has the Izzy marking on the top were it should be with a very small #2 next to it, 1943 dated, Serial #BB 7905. With that being said, I've recently handled a 91/59 at a local gunshow. Being completely honest, I was hard pressed to see the difference between the 38 and the 59 other than a little extra nomenclature on the barrel base. Do any of you fine fellows know exactly what I should be looking for? Also why does my 38 have that strange flat grind on the receiver? Is it possibly a 59??? Many thanks for your time-SDH
