Hey guys,

Finished up this build recently and thought I’d share it. I like to do these builds under a “historical fiction” eye, and call them “alternative history rifles”.

Before you freak out, I purchased a barreled Action to do this build and I’d never do this to an original rifle of any kind, so nobody get any ideas haha!

I didn’t use the most most practical mount on this rifle, but I thought it’s what Gave it the correct look. I’m also looking to replace the cheap temporary scope rings with a nice blued set. The action is bedded in the walnut stock, has mojo double aperture sights which are very typical of a “target style” and the rear sight features an adjustable dial. There is a Swiss Products brake on the front end as well. Check it out!

Don’t forget the Swiss vetterli and 1889, it’s not too hard to convert the vetterli to centerfire either
 
I love it Jesseky! I was recently given a sporterized K31and raw laminated stock. (Gotta love older brothers :) ) Only have a few boxes of rounds down range, but am very impressed with the accuracy. Just loaded up a variety of test loads, she seems to really like a 165gr SPBT. May try to fill one of my deer tags with it as is next month. Then dig into it as a winter project.

Be well

Beautiful laminate stock, I was unaware of anyone making a semi inletted sporter stock for the k-31. The k-31 has been one of my favorite rifles to sporterize because the action itself is a unique work of art and worthy of creating something around it. I hope to see yours when you’re all finished.
 
I'll definitely be starting a build thread here at THR. I agree, the unique K31 action really is a thing of beauty. I fell in love with it when I put all the pieces together and worked that straight pull the first time.

And again, beautiful build on your K31. Very impressive!
