Okie dokie.. so it finally came in! I was starting to get worried.
But HOLY FREAKING CRAP this thing is a work of art, mechanically speaking. I'm a machinist & the metal work on her is amazing!
All numbers I can find match. Trigger is amazing! Stock is relatively beat up. High points on the metal are worn through the bluing. Rifling is crisp & bright. There is the fabeled tag under the buttplate with a dude's name on it, but no unit or address? It's freakin' heavy. Overall it looks like she has been taken care of, but definitely shows use.
I would not hesitate to buy another one. In fact I might.. this would make an amazing silencer host, I believe.
did it come with the brass muzzle cap.
I have one with the holy grail a number matching bayonet. woot. has a sharpening stone in the sheath so it sharpens the bayonet with each draw and sheathing.
whats crazy is go on ebay and buy the original victorinox swiss army knife its actually all the tools to take the k11/k31 apart.
there is a new production in all stainless called the soldier model that is the same they run about 25 bucks and are avail all over.
if you want a real treat look up a zkf31/55 that's the holy grail of k31's saidly I passed on one and have never seen one since. there was only I believe 1750 of them made and only like 800 made it to the us
