One Sweet 55

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

Isn't that just like Joe? Ask a guy

Joe, somethings should fall under the

"Don't ask. Don't tell" Rule.

Nice to see a K31 that doesn't have the water mark on the butt stock. Wonder where those came from anyway, and why they had been stored in such a way that they had that two or three inch discoloration from water damage?

In passing, the water damage didn't hurt the name tag under the butt....at least on the one I got. :lol:

Water damage

Post by PeterN2 » Sat Apr 15, 2006 4:08 am

I saw a photo on a site that showed K31s stacked (piled) with the butt stood in a few inches of snow. I think that is where the water damage comes from.

Regards

Peter.

Peter, that makes sense. It never snows where I live so it didn't cross my mind.

It should be safe to assume that K-31s were treated the same way.
