What year was the rifle and did it come from the Tula or the Izhevsk factory?

1942, and it came from Izhevsk. It also bears refurbishment stamps on both the barrel shank and the stock.

The only thing that sets this one apart from other MN's in any way that I can tell is that it has a Remington bolt body! I figure that the old one was broken, an when it was in for refurb, that was just what they grabbed out of the bin.
