Without wood, pretty much worthless to us guys. Almost impossible to restore from what I've heard, just no spare parts out there.
"French
Sniper" Did you correct him or just chuckle quietly to yourself?

You confirmed my instincts on the restoration which is why I passed. Just chuckled.

There are enough first-class Swiss
rifles around that you need not waste one second looking at Bubba jobs or cracked stocks.

Simpson's Ltd is a great place to find Swiss
rifles. They are currently running a special on the 1911 series rifles.

Gun show near Philly today I ran into a few Swiss
rifles. A drilled and tapped 1911 long rifle was $350. A walnut stocked K31 was $350, a 96/11 was $450. Local gun shop still has a beech stocked K31 for $325.

Milsurps are a bit few and far between here abouts. Usually a few on tables at shows. The walkins is where I have the most success. I am sure the dealers hate to see me coming as I am willing to pay a bit above pawn shop prices. The Swiss and Finnish
rifles are about very rare. Garands and Carbines are the only thing seen with ant regularity. CMP
resellers. I passed on a walkin Sweede carbine due to lack of knowlege at $350. Saw it later on a dealer's table. He probably bought it for $200 and had it marked at $575. A lack of knowlege might have cost me on that one.
