What was the grade that Simpson's listed it as? I have been looking at their k31's for a little while and it seems that most of them are listed as excellent condition with 50-80% blue for around $325.
My new 1944 K31

I posted the link to it in post #4 but here it is again.

Some of the blueing loss doesnt pick up in the pictures. The rear of the receiver is thin, there is some bare metal between the stacking thing and barrel, and the front handguard retainer is bare in places.

They used to be inexpensive, but they are a must have in any C&R collection.

I just looked at my sling from what I could read of the stamp it was made in 1945 in Bern

That is a great looking rifle. You will have fun shooting it. Gets a bit of attention at the range sometimes too.

I got a K-11 back in August of last year; all-matching (including bayo).
Took it out a couple of times to shoot it; Damn I was impressed!
Surprisingly the recoil wasn't that bad either.
Simpson Ltd is the way to go!
Swiss rifles are addictive. My most recent one arrived last night from AIM (1911.)

I'm still looking for a reasonably priced Pioneer sawback bayonet to add to the collection.
Extremely nice! I too would like a saw back bayonet

SOG has some
SOG has two varieties of Swiss bayonets available starting at $50. Just remember that SOG adds 3% for credit card payments.

I purchased the $50 version and it is extremely nice and unissued.

I shot it for the first time today and I shot very very poorly. I first checked the windage at 50 yards then walked a couple shots up the target to the center. I was surprised it was shooting low at 50 yards but with almost perfect windage. Then I went to 100 yards and shot at an sr-21 with the black center at the top of the front sight. I wound up just barely hitting the bottom of the of the 5 ring. Then I walked it up and had to aim at 12 O'clock in the 6 ring to get it into the black. Still, my best group of 10 shots was about 10 inches. Normally I can shoot my M39 Mosin with 70s corrosive surplus at 4 moa with iron sights.
I got home and checked the action and barrel band screws the barrel bands and front action screw was nice and tight. The rear action screw was maybe a little more than finger tight. There is a some contact between the front handguard and the barrel. I also tightened the action screws to very snug and snugged the barrel bands. Is there something else I can do? My only problem I noticed with my shooting was the sling occasionally got in the way of my cheek weld.

I forgot where I saw it but maybe gunboards. You tighten the front barrel band tight, then back out some? I saw this solution to accuracy issues posted several times. I did this before even shooting it so don't know how much of a difference it would have made. Mine was about 1-2MOA with a scope and 4 or so with open sights. I don't know, if you are shooting low, maybe you are lucky so you can just adjust your rear sight. I purchased and installed a replacement tall front sight cause at 100yds I was hitting high by almost 8 inches with GP11.
