ARperson- definately not talking about the rifle. This rifle has such a rabid fan following that I had to see what the deal was, and they were correct. I dearly love my 31. Way ahead of it's time. This rifle is the catalyst for getting into reloading for me. I'm in awe of the trigger, I've owned other Milsurps but none really caught me like this one did. I would like to see if there is any way to take one and try to do it justice in a carbine (I know- blasphemy). But it handles well in the current length, and I really like the short rifles. I don't want to hijack this link trying to get pictures of anyones conversion attempts, so I might start a link trolling for other pictures of nice rifles like the one pictured above. It is nice to see what others are doing to get ideas.
