    Fell off the wagon with a K-31 and Argentine Mauser

    I was in recovery from mil-surp addiction until I made the mistake of looking at the auctions. It is kinda like an alcoholic wandering into a bar just to see "what's going on". Big mistake.

    I fell off the wagon and ended up wining a late model K-31 and an Argentineicon Engineers carbine. In my defense, I've been looking for an '09 Argentine Engineer's carbine for some time. They are relatively rare and usually in pretty rough shape compared to many of the long rifles.

    The K-31? No excuses...I love the ones made in the late 50's, just before they ended production. It is nothing special, average condition, but a very late manufacture.

    Here's the K-31:

    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.
