A K-31!!!!
I gave in after quite some time of pondering and stewing. It came down to several things.
1st.It is inevitable that the Old military rifle bug will bite me.. may as well get an early start.
2nd.This gun design is just plain unique and incredible for the time... even for now! Also, the straight pull bolt is just neat!
3rd.In all of the K-31s I have seen whether in person, magazine, or online, I have NEVER seen on in such great condition! If I had continued to pass on it and eventually lost my chance to get it, I certainly would have kicked myself.
I am curious though. What cartridges have similar ballistics to the 7.5 Swiss?....whether factory or reloading possibilities. Searches have shown it to resemble the .308 and some even reload using 308 bullets.... I did get 60 rounds of GP11 with the gun and there are a few options for factory loaded ammo so that is a plus, but I MAY reload for it in the future...
I will post a picture in the very near future.
