It is not Russian, it is Yugoslavian. The next to last letter does not exist in Russian. I think it means Establishment 44. I think it is a M48 Mauser receiver that has had some parts replaced or altered to make it into a sporting rifle. Original caliber 8mm.

Thanks for the findings, it is going on my bookshelf. It appears to be surplus because it has never been used.

I agree, a M48 receiver that's been drilled and tapped for a scope, and had the bolt handle bent down. Appears to have a modern trigger for a better/smoother trigger pull

Looks like it needs a nice barrel with caliber of choice and new wood to be a nice sporter. You want to double your money?? Nice action
