How would I begin researching what I believe is and old Korean war era, or earlier. Possibly manufactured in a Soviet Block Country?

Got to have some markings on it somewhere that will document where it was made. You can google that. Most barrels have some foundry or proof marking on them. Someone with more intelligence will be along to help you out. IF you could post a pic, that would be of great assistance.

There are markings and numbers, just don't see anything that makes any since except a hammer and cycle symbol which makes me think Russian or at least Soviet Block. Sorry not going to post pictures or info on an open forum.
I wasn't being a smartass. Google is where I'd start. mtmuley

Found it, only one of the most common, highly manufactured during the period Mosin-Nagant M44.
