Looking for a mosin, need advice.

I've been hawking the Westrifle site for a couple days now show I'll just throw this out there, I like 3822 and 3598. Those look to be about the nicest guns (other than the one I just ordered of course haha) out of the cheap ones.
 
Is there a difference between the "Tula" and the regular sale ones? Anything that justifies the extra 50$?

Also, I've just found a place that sells them. Somewhere called "westrifle". Anyone heard of it? :p
 
They're all over the country. So seeing just "Canada" for your location makes it pretty tough to suggest a local supplier.

The ones made during the height of the wartime production from Izhevsk can be fairly rough looking with lots of coarse tool marks over all the outer areas. But they cycle, load and shoot just fine. My first Mosin that gave me the bug is a '43 Izhevsk that strongly displays this rougher looking external finish.

I just got a '39 Tula made Mosin from Westrifle which looks like new other than some butt plate wear on the blueing. I suspect it was used for guard duty and didn't actually see much, if any, actual action.

If you shop with Westrifle he has them all broken down and you can pick your year of manufacture and the actual maker.
