Joined the club and I am out of control

[levallois]

I know these have been around for awhile but they haven’t really been on my radar for some reason. Then I started looking at videos and reading about the K31 and decided I needed one for my collection. When I found out Centerfire systems had K31s for $399 it was time to get one. Then I saw a tiger striped example that I had to have it too. What a fantastic rifle!! Looking at the K11. Got some stripper clips. Ammo pouch. Ammo. Now I’ve got a proper addiction going on.

Top - pretty mixmaster with receiver and barrel matching from 1937. Magazine is also from 1937 but is 8000 numbers off. Beautiful Tiger-striped stock (photos don’t do it justice) is from 1942. Bolt is from 1947. Was rode hard and put up wet but I love it. Butt plate screws are frozen so cannot see if there is a tag in there yet - soaking with Kroil. Looks like a Swiss soldier regularly cleaned his muddy/snow encrusted boots with the butt.

Bottom - from Centerfire systems all matching from 1941 except magazine from 1944. Owned by a guy from Herisau Switzerland.
