I've got a '42 Tula that's been sporterized and a '39 Ishevsk that I kept stock. The '39 is a super pretty gun-the stock even looks better than any Mosin I've ever seen.

They're great shooters and will punch through as many frying pans as you can throw at them. I even bought a reloading kit for them, but haven't got around to making any rounds...
