That's cheap for a walnut stocked K31. That should have brought at least 350, but You'll enjoy the Finn M39.....Great rifle!

I've certainly seen worse. I'm sure she will shoot just fine.

I like a number of different milsurp rifles. I have several Brits, Swiss, Swedish, German, U.S., and probably more interested in the Finnish Mosin-Nagant rifles,.... at least for now.

I collect Lee Enfields, Finn Mosins, Swiss S-R, Swedish, U.S. & early German rifles, but love 'em all.

Greenant,
I have good results with the gas checked Lyman 314299, sized .311 & 16-18 grains of 2400 powder. Shot My BSA 1916 SMLE today and got the usual good results. Shoots even better in my LSA...
Yeah, ChuckinDenver,
I thought of that, too. Seems strange to not have any markings on it but as long as it shoots good, I'm pleased with it.

I have an Eddystone '17 that has an unmarked barrel with four grooves, right hand twist. I assume it is a JA barrel. It's a little smaller diameter behind the front sight than my original Remington....

Kirk,
Good job. Now the old lady looks respectful once again. We all thank You!
DocBob
Thanks Peter,
You are a gold mine of information for folks who don't know much about these rifles!
Best Wishes,
DocBob
Very nice rifle. I'm fairly new to the SMLE rifles. Did all the Austrailian rifles have their serial number stamped on the rear of the bolt handle like the English rifles? I would assume so.

My LSA 1918 also has a S marked butt.

Not having been back into military rifles very long, just about any Enfield in good condition is my goal. I did pick up a LSA 1918 with a very nice BSA '42 barrel that has the magazine cutoff. Then...
