Don't forget K31s, Steyr-Mannlichers, and Arisakas.

If it's a round receiver, I don't see anything wrong with dropping it into an ATI. I wouldn't do that myself, because ATI stocks are ugly, but round receivers are fairly common, so it's not as offensive.

Now, if you did that to an old M91, or a Finn M28, or one of the eighteen thousand collectable variants, there'd be something wrong, all right!

So, first Mosin, you say? Careful, they have a way of multiplying. My one Mosin 10 years ago transformed itself into about six or so.

They're good rifles, if a bit crude, and they'll always have a "soft spot" for me. Word of warning: take a 2x4 and a chiropractor to the range.
