    K31 at Auction

    If only I had more money.

    Today's gun auction offered a very nice, clean, all matching K31icon with walnut stock and original sling. I figured this rifle would not do well but my hands were tied. I was after the rifle after it and I could not possibly come out of there with both.

    $200.00

    A Sovieticon M44 sold for $300.00. They got $200.00 for a Chinese M53.

    The people at this auction tend to make little sense.

    I did get the rifle I was after. I'll post pics when I get a chance. I finally got my Finn M39.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Based on prices around here the K31icon was stolen. The M44 buyer was badly beaten.M53 they would have had to pay $100 for me to clean it.

    That's cheap for a walnut stocked K31icon. That should have brought at least 350, but You'll enjoy the Finn M39.....Great rifle!
