OK, I now have a Mosin. Apparently from Century Arms. Have the cleaning rod, the little tool kit but mine has one less item than in the video linked below. I have the little container with double caps-- anyone know why the two screw-on caps on the container?
New serial number done by laser. Older number stamped on bolt and receiver match-- MYXXXX-- 4 digits after the MY. Serial number on the bayonet does not match at all. The bayonet looks to be unused-- black all over. The numbers 1943 are also on the receiver-- is that the date? Is 1943 good or bad?

Did preliminary cleaning with just paper towels due to the press of time today. I know that photos are often requested but I am not good with photos.
