I do love it when my threads stir things up and Knowledge is the result. thanks gunner you type english way better than i could german. I guess its typing with an accent. latigo, rob, I started to worry about my purchase and even though I'm fearless I will have my brother in law (tool maker/machinist/ army armorer) check it out. the cost is right. I ordered the G11 ammo and I don't plan on any hot loads. Can any one tell me what the swiss do that requires them to (kick)the butt of their K31. I was told the butts of the rifles (at J&G) are a little beat up. Are we talking drill team stuff.

I've seen the liberties(at the gun shows) and they look great. My first one is an American Securitythat I bought as an empty shell and did my own interior for 8 rifles a top shelf and 3 side shelves. When I out grew that I got a stack on to hold 36 rifles with 1 full width upper shelf.
My Garands fit but the longer Mausers are too tall. Does Liberty make a tall boy(ha ha)I'll call.

Looks great. a little pricey but should protect all those milsurps you have or plan on getting.

Got the K-31 and the butt looks just fine. I can't tell for sure but the walnut stock appears to be laminated. I put a light coat of BLO and it looks fine. Or at least no harm done.
I like it so much I ordered a 2nd one from J&G.

I like more the upper one, it looks like its made of a sort of that expensive wood they use in luxury cars. Keep the aluminium sleeve clear from that green sh§§! Have fun!

Very nice. I will consider your method. I know I need raw tung oil as I used the other tung oil on a new CMP stock and it came out nice but not the effect I was looking for. Nothing lost.
One thing I would add is I do like these K-31s as they are, just want to clean them and protect them, and have them come out in a natural way if you know what I mean.
And yours look to be natural in the pictures.
