Owning a K31, I can tell you alot of thier accuarcy is do to the great surplus ammo you can get. Its almost match grade.  I'm not so sure I'd want to take a k31 into battle, the tolerances on them are pretty tight.( atleast by miltary standards.)

Holy crap ! Mark this day on the Calander !
I agree with TAB   ;D
After reading about the Canadian Ross Rifle in WWI, I would also be concerned about the straight pull design in combat conditions, with fouling from high volume of fire, plus stress, it would be very easy to fail to lock the bolt fully forward. But those would not be concerns at the range.

Look at what Followed me home. My wife dragged me to a yard sale that she said I would be interested in and I found this for $300.

$300? ? ? ? ? ? ?


WTF?

If it shoots, that is one hell of a bargain.

I keyholed the first two rounds at 50 yards, but I have to wait until Sunday to test it out. My 10 year old son is in love with it. Told him the sks is his now.

I only had $300 on me. They had a Ruger blackhawk 357 ($325), astra 38($300), mossberg 937 ($300) for sale also. I really wanted the Oliver 88 deisel tractor, but $3500 was not in the bank at the time.

That's some find!  All the yard sales I've ever been to have featured old clothes, lunchboxes, tupperware lids (no containers), Emerson 8-track stereos (1 speaker missing), various and sundry knick-knacks, a beat up old Big Wheel, and never-played board games.  I should start going to yard sales in Ohio.
