Thinking of heading there tomorrow.
Specifically looking for a nice Swiss K31... pretty specific but if anyone sees any of it or some nice C&R rifles do let me know, thanks

I saw one there, not import marked either, at least nowheres I could see. Post war though, stock was beech.

Brian have those? Do you remember the price?

$650. Stainless too. They were well used though.

I sarcastically commented to one of the dealers that I have more guns in my closet than there are at this show. South Carroll still has that Colt I've been drooling over, if only it was C&R! Since I still have not done it, that HQL thing strikes again! Ran into a couple of friends I have not seen in a while. One of my buddies who was set up there gave me a box of bullets for my .41 mag.
Lots of unoccupied space at this show.

No reloading supplies that I saw. Pretty good ammo prices at the couple that comes in from PA booth. Chestnut Ridge is the name. Small booth in the middle.

I saw a K31 there for $650. I didn't ask about it but that's about $300 more than I would expected based on its looks on the table.

A lot of times they are import marked with very small letters under the barrel just behind the front sight. It can be hard to see.

Thank you.

Thanks for the headsup, but man that's a bit outrageous. I was setting my budget on $400 and I thought that would be plenty... haha

 

[lee2]

Thank you.

I beleve the days of 300-350 k31s are gone unless you can catch a deal. 400-500 is more realistic for a nice all matching example.

Did anyone see any Colt ARs there?

I realize that seems to be the case now. It's a shame because it was only about 2 years ago when they used to be at the 300 price mark.
Thank you for the insight sir. It may be best for me to be a bit more patient for my journey to find a K31.
Regardless, I still may check out the show tomorrow.

it was rough walking away from the fingerprint place in the back. My inner devil tried convincing me it won't hurt lucky for me my Trump side won and I was able to walk away

Unfortunately it seems to be the case now.

It's one of the unissued ones that Samco had awhile back. I bought if from a member but it was not cheap. Some of the guys here have unissued K31s with walnut stocks, those are really freaking beautiful!!
