300 is a bit steep imo, but at least it comes with a boyonet.

I've been looking at these too OP. I dig the matching errything, although what do they mean by "cracked stock"? Like, can I fire it without it falling apart? Also consider the price of ammo. Milsurp is going to be at least $.50 a round. Federal will be closer to $1.00. They're supposed to be devastatingly accurate though.

all the gunbroker listings are around $320 for 'excellent' condition. Is the price difference worth it, or is the buy now price a rip-off like most auctions?

I guess 2 years makes a difference in prices. I bought mine for like 280 and it came with 200 rds of ammo. The previous owner really didn't want his gun.

Anyway, gb isnt too bad, but for 20 dollars less and since you'll have to pay for the transfer fee, I would take J&G in a heart beat if I was you.

It was the only rifle in service during the war capable of shooting sub MOA groups.

There is a video on youtube of a man hitting a target the size of a pizza from 1000 meters multiple times with one. Using only the sights, no optics.

They're second in accuracy only to Swede Mausers.

But all surplus GP11 is match grade.

Not exactly.

The K31 is marginally more accurate then a Swedish Mauser, however 6.5x55 is an amazingly accurate caliber.

It is pretty close ballistically to the .308, so yeah, it is not something you want to be in front of when it goes off.

This is a little off topic boof, but it's about used guns, and I understand you'd be a good guy to ask. What do you think of LE trade-in S&W model 10's? I was looking at getting a first revolver to compliment the two rifles I have.

JUMP ON IT.

For the record, I looooove the K31 action. Mechanically, its a fascinating and elegant alternative to the Enfield/Mauser actions. It feels great. And it gets a lot of interest from other gun owners at the range too.

I think that's it. Walnut is awfully pretty. I can't say that it's more durable than beech; I don't know. I just like the look.

I can understand your tastes, it's just i want GP11 gun for the 300m range. I'm happy to take a beechwood stock as long as the gun is in good condition and has a good shooting pattern. I'd rather spend the extra money on a W + F diopter.
