They're great, but have a nasty tendency to multiply in the safe.

That is a very pretty piece of lumber you've got there.

I bought it for a pittance in 2002-2003

Likewise for my six. The first which got me interested was found at a gun show, a 1942 model. It turned out to have a fantastic feather grain walnut stock. I think I paid $130 for it, did not know any better at the time and still have no regrets considering the quality of the wood.

It got me interested enough to get a C&R license and quickly acquired another five, for $70-80 each, none as pretty as the first but all good shooters. Hey, six makes a pair of 3 gun stacks.

Later I got with a group buy on one of the Swiss gun sights and importer a 1911, which outshoots any of the K-31's. It and one of the K-3l's sports Furter rear sights, fully adjustable for windeage and elevation. The sight alone is worth more than the rifle, but worth it.

My best ever open sight group was shot with the 1911 Schmidt Rubin using the Swiss GP-11 ammo. 1.25" for ten shots at 100 yards, not bad for 65 year old eyes sporting trifocals.

These are the work of the devil and I must resist the temptation.



Here a 3-shot group I accidentally shot when someone let my try out their Karabiner (using GP11 @ 100yds). I'm pretty humble when it comes to this rifle stuff, but that's the best group I've ever shot. And I've only shot this rifle once. Damn I want one of my own as well!
