After shooting next to a cast bullet K31 shooter at the range for 2 weeks in a row, seeing him put round after round into the 9, 10 and X ring at 200yds with the original sights, then reading a couple threads on the K31 here, I had to have one.
Been looking at them online for the last couple weeks, checked several places locally, after calling all the Big 5s in the area, and talking to their managers, they didn't expect to get any more in from Century, it's been 2 months since they got any, the last store I called had one and after seeing it and how good it looked, I bought it.
A beechwood stocked rifle with a $180 price tag I might add, which is a bit more than I anticipated, has very little wear, no rust and the bluing is 90+%, bore looks new, although the stock near the butt plate is a little rough. Removed the butt plate and there was the label with the last Swiss GI's name and unit on it, kool!! Ordered 4 boxes of the boxer primed ammo from Grafs and a die set, looking forward to doing some shooting with it.
Looking at scope bases now considering I'll want to use it for load work, can't trust my eyes to give me a good sight picture with iron sights. Haven't decided if I want to use the
S&K Scout mount or the
Swiss clamp on kind Thanks to all you K31 owners!!
