So I went to a gun show today (Syracuse, NY) and was looking around a table with a bunch of Mosins and heard some guys talking about Swiss K31s. I've heard of them before and thought they were a neat little rifle. Supposedly they're really accurate and usually decent guns. The straight-pull bolt also seems really interesting as well.
So I've got a few questions-
1) Are most of these guns that are still around still in storage condition (cosmoline, etc)? Call me crazy, but I love cleaning guns up and watching them "come back to life", so to speak.
2) What is the average price for one of these guns? I am perfectly fine with it having some dings and such, adds character.
3) Is there enough of these guns around where I shouldn't feel bad working on it (refinishing stock, etc)?
Thanks in advance.
