Got a K-31 a few weeks ago, just got out to the range with it for the first time this afternoon. Best $100 I ever spent. Very good open sights, not only the best mil-surp trigger I ever felt, but a great trigger for any rifle, light and smoooth. With mil-surp ammo the first 10 shot group was just over 2" at 100 yards and dead center in the bull. Now my 50+ year old eyes can't see well enough to shoot better than that with any open sights. I paid a few dollars more for a hand select and the bore was perfect, all metal is fine and even the wood is good. Muzzle cover sling etc. Never thought I'd be more pleased with a mil-surp than my Swede 96, but the K-31 just may be it. Then again the lines of the Swede appeal to me more and it is also a shooter.
