You are all an amazing resource. I appreciate all the responses. Of course, now I have even more questions

• Is the "X" ID'ing this as a "Russian capture" on the left or right when looking down the sights?
• What is the non-matching piece on the exterior?
• So a "dip blue" means some of the parts were originally straw-colored, not blued, correct?

The bore is in the shape you'd expect based on the rest of the gun. Good, no pitting.

Thanks again!
