"Nuts"

Made it to the range today.

- 100 yards
- GP11 head stamped 5 79 D A
- K31 Iron Sights
- sandbag front rest

I am very impressed with the firearm - a real hidden Gem.

Even makes me look not too bad .... which is saying something.

"nothing special". hardly. they're very special. beautiful and unbelievably accurate.

is there a troop tag under the buttplate?

Very true .... Fair enough - but no troop tag.

You beat me to it. Every K-31 is special. Like a fine Swiss watch but it fires a projectile.

[Aragorn243]

That is a nice one. What year was it made?

[CODFan]

The stock shows (has) a 47 under the butt plate but by the serial # list it is 1950.

[Aragorn243]

The stock dates are usually a year earlier to allow them to dry. Three years is a long stretch but they may not have been in much of a rush with the war over and no outside threats. Does the bayonet match?

These are my favorite series of rifles and I almost didn't buy one because they weren't involved in the wars. Once I got one, the others quickly followed. K11, 1911. All are great shooters. Ammo is still available and cheap compared to most everything else out there right now.

[CODFan]

The bayonet does not match.

Had a chance to shoot one last week and .... well now one ended up in the safe. Funny how that works

For $250 to $350 I think these are a steal.

Picked up some GP11 too.

Have a Clamp-on Muzzle Break on order as they do kick a bit.
