I just recieved a Mosin 91/30 from aim surplus and it has these markings on the left side of the reciever on the stock....anyone know what these mean?

I'm pretty sure it translates to: "Kill the capitolist pigs for Mother Russia"

Looks like Hecho in Mexico.

Fixed it for you. Its a Mosin, not an AK.

Google "Russian keyboard" enter the letters then copy and paste into a translator. Probably someones name.

The text looks like "ШИШКИН И.". This is "SHISHKIN I." in English
No idea what does this mean. Google finds wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Shishkin ,
though it has no relation to firearms.

I can confirm the text: definitely says "ШИШКИН И."

Shishkin almost certainly refers to the surname, and "I" is most likely an initial for a given name. My guess is that a previous owner left his mark.

Pretty cool that I randomly got one marked like this.

Definitely. Now if only the Soviets had kept better records of their servicemen... *sigh*
