IMHO supplies of other surplus rifles-Lee Enfields, Mausers, US, have been pretty well exhausted. While somewhat crude by our standards the Mosin-Nagant was as widely issued as the Lee-Enfields and Mausers, had a service life starting with its introduction in 1891 and going into the 1960s-and is a real piece of military history.
