K31=best milsurp ever?

[roscott]

Could these possibly be the best milsurp rifles available? I really can't wait to stretch this thing out to see what it is truly capable of.

Bob, Nate and I are headed out to the farm this coming weekend to do some distance shooting, if you really want to stretch out your fancy Swiss rifle!

There will be a fire and beer, too...

AIM has them in stock with walnut stocks for $309 + shipping... Swiss K31 7.5x55 Rifle

You can also check Gunbroker... Finding them locally is going to be hit or miss.

Gander Mountain in Avon had a bunch. Last week they were on sale which essentially brought them down to the normal price everywhere else. Some looked to be in pretty decent condition as far as K31s go. Check the GM up by Casleton Square.

I got mine from Simpsonltd.com. They are a huge firearms collectors store. All of their guns were given individual descriptions and grades and they included bore diameters as well as pictures of each rifle. You can even call them up and ask questions about particular rifles. Mine was exactly what I wanted, the only thing it didn't have was a troop tag but I knew that before I bought it. Definitely worth checking them out.

Once upon a time a Monroe shock absorber had sex with a screen door latch and the straight pull action was born!!!​

Hate the action, should have been a regular bolt.

Accurate rifle with short chamber and good trigger. GP-11 is great ammo. Glad I have one.

I was going to bump this thread myself. While watching YouTube @ lunch I came across a video of a guy shooting a $99 open sight K31 with hand loads at a buffalo silhouette at well over 2000 yards!!! I'll find it when I get home.

I am more comfortable with a regular bolt too, but you have to admire the engineering that went into that one.

I really like my K31's. Glad I bought mine back when they were $99 each or two for $89 each.

My only regret is not buying $1,000 worth of GP11 back when it was 20 cents a round.

I lucked out and got 6x 60rd sealed packs when a store decided to put it on sale because it wasn't selling very well. Fantastic ammunition, just wish it was boxer premiered.

the M96 swede has my vote, owned a k-31 and sold it, still have some gp11 ammo, I also like a finn mosin better.
