Izhevsk is a triangle with an arrow in it. The wreath with the hammer is just the Russian crest of the period time not the manufacturer
^This.
There are a ton of cool marking/cartouche possibilities on the Mosins. If you find a small square with SA inside on the side of the receiver, don't mess up the rifle, it's a Finn capture and is getting to be worth some money.
I don't recommend going Bubba on the Mosins, but if you do, do it to a round not a hex. You can find carbines in the M44 model for about $250.
Dawned on me the other day I'm completely against modifying Mosins due to their inherent history, but would have no problem hacking a cherry '49 Merc into a lead sled. So I figure, "Eh, to each his own".
