Hey gang,

Decisions decisions decisions...

Im looking for my first k31. I have been browsing Simpsons online looking for one that stands out to me. You know, something about a rifle stands out to you and says I have to have it. Well, I think I may have found the rifle, but I have a couple concerns. None that are extreme, but I don't want some that looks like trash.

I'm looking at this k31. SWISS K-31

It stands out to me because it has someones name and the date and Franceicon carved into the stock. Some may cringe at something like this, but I look at it as a part of history. At some point in time many years ago took the time to identify this rifle as theirs.

My only concern is that the description says it has slight varnish. How do you guys think the rifle looks? I just don't want a kitchen gunsmith job that someone decided to varnish up. The dings and dents don't bother me. I just want a solid shooter that doesn't look like a turd.

I emailed with some more questions, but wanted to get an outside opinion.

Thanks guys, I posted it here because I wanted to get more than just the k31 crowds opinion.
