"Scrubbed Receiver"is also referred to as being "Sanitized". It means all info, date/arsenal or other markings are re machined off the barrel/reciever. I have a sanitized 91/59 and the receiver tang is also scrubbed, but i don't think this is always the case. My theory on these is that these were some of the rougher milled wartime barrels/recievers and at rearsenal they were finally given a nice buffing. I base this on the fact that on mine you can still see some faint milling lines on the receiver. Who knows, but whoever cut these down and 91/59'd em did an excellent job. Like most, mine has a very minty barrel and is the smoothest and most accurate of my carbines. The "sanitizing" bumps it up on the rarity scale, so id guess that's why they would charge a premium for these rifles
