I just got one, the last on the rack, and am in the process of restoring. When I saw all the parts had the same #s, had laminated stock, Tula armory marked MO and appeared unfired I could not resist. Having taken it completely apart I'm almost sure that it was never issued but recalled to the armory, checked out and packed again for storage.
