[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1891463, member: 8853"] Not to even think about starting an argument, but to say they are just restocked and rebarreled Mosins is an oversimplification. They started life as M91's, not 91/30's. That may seem a trivial distinction, but virtually every M91 I've ever held in my hands was better than 90% of the 91/30's I ever saw. But more than that, they were converted by the Finns, who knew more than a little about making good rifles. The action is far smoother than the normal Mosin, the sights are like night and day when compared, and they shoot lights out. They say, although I've never owned one, that the "B" barreled m39's are very near K31's and M96's in accuracy. Hold a Russian Mosin in one hand and a Finnish M39 in the other and compare features. Given the option, you'll throw the 91/30 in the trash. But, yes, they do cost more and are harder to find. [/QUOTE]
