I got this from our very own lsmurphy...

It is a real nice example of a Russian Izzy... all matching numbers too...

Details that I have on it from a quick examination without taking it apart:

All stamped in numbers matching marked as TE 409 including bolt, Trigger guard, Magazine, Gas tube and side of receiver.... and even the stock! An importers mark from California also on side of receiver (cannot recall exactly the name right now) and a serial number after that

Arsenal rebuild mark under the Izzy mark. Blackened bolt.

The following markings on stock and appears original type of stock (Artic Birch and not laminate)

Some pictures (again quick and dirty):

The ruskies are sure a nice sks..not only do they look great, but they feel good and shoot even better. I especially love the artic birch re-arsenalled stocks with all the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!

Yea... and what is odd is that a few of them don't appear to have any number under them for them to have needed to put so many X's over nothing! Adds character though!
