I was having a conversation at the range today with a couple other guys about milsurp collecting and one guy said he was thinking about getting his first Mosin Nagant as a Finnish M39. And I tried to convince him that while the M39 is probably the best Mosin as a shooter it's not really representative and he should first get a 91/30 because not only it's the definitive form and function for the make and model, but it's the most esthetically pleasing - prettiest, nicest lines --- sexiest, if you will, for our polling purposes. So - poll questions - seeing as I have decent examples of both and can take a pic of both together, what's your opinion, of the two of my Mosin Nagant rifles pictured, which one is the prettiest and the sexiest? The Russian 91/30 (top) or the Finnish M39 (below)?
