Ok, I've had my eye on the K31's now for awhile. After reading some threads of new purchases, I think it's time I got one. I am looking for a walnut stocked model and I'd really like to get one with a troop ID tag. I believe all the below K31s on the 3 sites have all been imported by Samco.
I'm trying to determine where I should order from and what condition as well.
Samco has 3 condition levels, very good for $150, special select for $160 and excellent condition for $180. (this is including the $20 surcharge for walnut stocks) http://www.samcoglobal.com/rifles.html
AIM surplus has 1 level, for $160, which is $40 more than their beech version. They advertise these as "good to very good condition" They also have a hand pick for $10. http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Swiss_1931_Carbine_Schmidt_Rubin_K31_Rifle_Select.html
Classic Arms has a walnut stocked all matching # with troop ID tag for $160. The condition claimed is "very, very, good". http://www.classicarms.us/index.html
I emailed Samco in November about their special select walnut K31 (they were out of the excellent at the time), and they told me it would be $140 for the special select walnut, and for $20 more, I could guarantee an ID tag. granted their prices have gone up since then, but I'd imagine if I'd WANT a tag, an excellent cond. K31 at samco would be $200.
The best deal seems to be classicarms.us @ $159.95 for walnut w/ troop ID tag. You can't pick what "condition" it will come in though. Does this sound like my best bet?
