Where to get K-31 bayonets, chargers and or mags?

[natedog]

Also known (improperly) as stripper clips. Where to get these for a decent price? And, if possible, where to get bandoliers? Where can I get extra box magazines for the K-31 that cost under $50 (I mean really, I might as well by another rifle for $50 more just to get the mag)? Yeah, I know, the box mag wasn't intended to be used to do rapid reloads. However, I would like to have a spare or two....
And bayonets. The only ones that I've seen cost about $80. Why so expensive, and rare?

they're properly known as stripper clips or chargers. garand type clips are known as en bloc clips, garand clips, or mannlicher clips.


in any event, the proper chargers for the K-31s are hard to find because they're cardboard.


i saw some at the last gun show, though.


cheaper than dirt has k-31 bayonets. don't recall how expensive.


hope that helps.


we should have a THR bakersfield get together sometime. i think there are more bakersfield people on thr per capita than anywhere else.

my thoughts exactly, mr. wyatt. Perhaps a bakersfield or central CA shoot? The regular THR shoots up north are a little too far to go for me. 5 dogs seems to be just the place for this kind of shoot.

5 dogs would be decent.


after the swat match is over, me, you, el rojo, and uglygun should plan something.

 

[natedog]

sounds good. when is the swat match? pm me for planning, and then we could post something in the GD forum about it...

NOTHING about K-31 accessories will be cheap.....and it will get nothing but worse. The Bayos were never surplused directly to the US, so their scarcity comes from being trickled over here by Swiss & German buyers...you're paying for rarity and 3 middle men. They didn't come in with the guns, so there's 10,000 guys looking for 1000 bayonets.

The stripper clips can be had for $3-5 a piece at gun shows....sometimes cheaper. I see them quite a bit locally. If you can't find any, email me maybe I can pick you up some.

Mags are expensive and will stay that way. Too much demand and not enough extras.

You can try ebay for a good deal, but you'll have to get lucky to get a cheap deal on SR stuff.
