It looks ok to me. Are there import marks on it? That might be why those numbers are etched. I'm sure one of the guy's will be able to tell you better. Lot's o knowledge on here.

It probably shows that it was reconditioned at some point. New parts getting the quick electro cut numbers to match the reciever 's number.

If you notice on the bottom of the magazine there are the remains of the serial number that is different from the one on the barrel or barrel/reciever that they renumbered the gun from. Many guns esp. Russian guns were arsenal redone renumbered and stored for the next use.

If you also notice the fit of the metal and wood is off which is another sign of rebuild from parts or reconditioning is more accurate. If it has a good bore it might make a good shooter. Have the headspacing checked by a gunsmith before shooting to be safe.

The company I might buy this from also has one for the same price with matching numbers. (but it is in worse condition)

Re: WW II Soviet M38 Moisin-Nagant Carbine
The stock on this one is that of a post war replacement M44 carbine. If you look at the right hand side it has a grove cut into the top to accommodate the bayonet. As the others have said this is just a reconditioned M38 as almost all were. It is very hard to find an original Mosin Nagant in the US that has not been reconditioned. I'd say it’s a $130-$160 gun depending on who you get it from. If you’re lucky you can get one for less. Also watch out for the M91/59 carbines. They look like the M38 but are cut down from M91/30. You can spot these by the rear sight; it is the same as the M91/30 and is not short like the M38. These are very fun guns to shoot good luck with getting a good one.
