I am thinking of getting a K31 and have a couple of questions.

1) I have my C and R on the way, but am looking for a good source for these rifles. Am interested in a shooter, not too worried about serial numbers, etc and money is an object. Any thoughts?

2) Ammo... is there plenty out there and will it ever dry up (if laws don't change)?

Sorry for my ignorance, but am just starting out with the whole milsurplus rifle bug.

www.gunbroker.com has a lot of them for sale as well as Samco, and even this forum.
Should be able to get a good one for 250.00 or less. As far as ammo, Privi Partizan and a couple of other companies are making ammo besides the GP-11. You can also reload. So I think you will be okay. Hope this helps

I've been reloading the 7.5x55 cartridge for 3 years now, and I can honestly say that I've worked up a load that is more accurate than the GP-11 ever was in my K-31. I use 168gr Sierra HPBT bullets and reformed .284 Win cases.

I've got some ammo. Over 400 rounds, and ten of those stripper clips. My K31 needs more work than I'm willing to put into it. If interested, make offer.

What kind of work does the K-31 need?

I have a nice one for sale on the trader forum right now.

Be warned, it's hard to have just one K-31

K31 fever

Try it, you'll like it. Easy to reload for, you will just haveta get one of the clamp on scope mounts once you realize the accuracy potential of these things ! At least the Mojo Micro Click peep sight..of course you may still be able to focus on the stock sights, I can't !

You selling the K-31

 

[stevecan]

Yup I'll agree with that sentiment and show you proof!!!!!

From top to bottom, '28 K11, '36 K31, '41 K31, '43 K31, '56 K31

Oh and the clamp on is a Swiss Products mount in aluminum with Warne 7.3 Rings (extra high) and a Simmons 6.5-20x50 "Whitetail" scope.

I got 4 when they were running 100 bucks a piece and a bunch of ammo. They are a very sweet shooting rifle and a very fast action. As for buying now-a -days, I have no idea.

 

[TFoley]

Don't hang around - buy one, or more, NOW.

If I was allowed to, I'd have one for every year they were made.

As it is, I have three, and here in yUK, THAT, my friend, is passing rare.

There is absolutely nothing to compare with shooting a manually-operated rifle or carbine five times in less than ten seconds - the look on the faces of the Lee-enfield afficionados makes it all worth while...

Best
