Yes, I picked up a K31 years ago for $150. I'd never seen one before. I have another that I won't let go of. A couple 1896/11's. I had the idea that the long sight base would equate to better accuracy. Didn't seem to help all that much. I will be taking this rifle out in a few days to try out. I never owned a K11 before but I like to try out different things.
The striping in the wood caught my eye. I thought I would redo the wood and make it look real sharp, but I'm a little torn on messing with a rifle that looks good as it is and it's history.
If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
