Referbed multiple times?

I picked up a bubba special hex 91/30,
Its been cut down and poorly painted...

I cleaned off the paint and found 3 dates on the receiver.. it was the first time I have seen this.
Is it common?

remember there was no unemployment in the Soviet Union, so if something needed doing (or not) there was no shortage of hands to accomplish the task(s)

Is there an MO stamped near the dates?

 

[PinkyPlinker]

Triple date MO marked aren't very common but if it's been cut it doesn't matter.

There ya go. Was MO, significance?

 

[Butcherbill]

MO double dated firearms are more common than triple dates but that's not the first one I've seen posted on here, there's a write up on them here.

Has the barrel been cut or just the stock? Pics of the whole rifle?

Barrel is cut. I got it with hacksaw marks, no magazine and cracked stock.
Cleaned it up, squared off and polished up the muzzle. Got the boat load of paint off of it(that's when I saw the dates).
I'll be crowning this week, painting it and sticking it in a spare Boyd's stock.

I basically got it for pocket change and lint, so I'll see how it shoots next weekend.

I recently found out about the MO stamping on my Tokarev TT-33 from that site, neat little bit of info on it, and so far mine is only the second TT-33 in the database with MO marking.

Shame it's been cut at some point, MO stamped guns tend to be in great shape. My MO 91/30 hex reciever is in great condition, bore especially.

Someone on here has a MO stamped svt40 if I remember correctly.
