When I was given my mosin nagant, my friend bought himself one too.
But there is a slight diffrence in them.
On his bolt body, butt plate and magazine foot there are 4 stamped numbers that match. We assume that means those are all matching parts.
On mine, there are what look like two scratched initals and 4 scratched numbers. All three places match on mine but I was just wondering what that ment.
 
It sounds like it was force matched. Most of these rifles got refurbished. While going through the refurbishment process some of them had parts mix-matched and some even got renumbers, which is what it sounds like happened to yours. If they had a bad barrel, they would save the good parts and slap it on a different rifle. They just took parts and made as many good rifles as they could. Yours just has parts from different rifles.
 
It is better to see that they are electro-penciled as a force match than to see non matching numbers.

It means that they have gone through a rearsenal procedure and important aspects like headspacing of the bolt have been performed to original specs.

Might not be collectible, but you have a shooter!
