Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Got my K-31

I got my Swiss rifle on Saturday at the gun show in Spartanburg.

Was anybody else there?

Anyway, it was $180. Overpriced I know, but once I ordered it and paid for the transfer fee and shipping, it wouldn't have been that much different.

I really need a C and R license! Got another year to wait before I'm old enough, though.

GL, good for you! That is not a bad price to pay at a gun show. Did you check under the butt plate to see if there is a tag from the former (Swiss) owner?

BTW, you know the rules......you have to post pics of it if possible.

No, there's no tag. That was the first thing I checked.

And yeah, I'll hopefully post pics pretty soon.

Me Cimmaron and my cousin are going to each get one once my cousin gets paid. Either that or me and Cimmaron are going to get one from AIM.

I've had my K-31 for a couple of years now, but haven't gotten around to shooting it yet. There's always tomorrow....

Heck I haven't fired my MAS-36 either. I finally bought some cartridges for both the MAS and the K-31 and my Carcano last January. I just got around shooting my Carcano today.

Here's some pics of my 1942 K-31 and tag. It has a walnut stock. I bought it from AIM last month. It came with an original sling and muzzle cap (which I had to pay extra for).

I hope to get it to the range soon. If Ptannjr and I can get our schedules in sync, we can shoot some of my 33 cents a round and some of his $1.00 a round ammo!

P0G0, your K-31 looks much better than mine. However, the blue on my is almost like new and the bore is perfect.

I'd like to hear about your shoot with the Carcano. Maybe it is time for a Carcano thread?

The blue on my K-31 also is just like new, and the bore looks almost unfired.

I got my Carcano last fall at a Gun show in Indy. My Carcano is kind of a rare one. It's a paratroopers model with a folding bayonet. I got a real steal on it when I bought it.



And ptannjr, I just never got around to getting cartridges and shooting it yet. I bought some cartridges in January for the MAS and K-31. I'll shoot them soon. They ain't a going anywhere.

how'd you like shooting the caracano, Pogo?

they're beautiful rifles...... i really like your paratroopers model! that's definitely something i'd like to add to our collection....preferably one like Pogo's but a regular one would more than do. has a gorgeous one.
