The K31

If I had to choose one rifle to keep, this would be the one.

I shot 50 rounds through this rifle today, and every time the steel buttstock hit my shoulder, I grinned.

I’m inordinately pleased.

The barrel was warm for a long time. I held it by the upper handguard and felt the warmth for what seemed like an hour.

Wow.

I’ve loved this rifle since I got it- but I love it ever so much more now.

Military shoot

Shot this match this morning, Had a BLAST. We had 30 participants. And the weather blew chunks. Can’t wait to shoot some of their other matches.

The K31 came through. No way I’ll ever be able to shoot as well as the rifle. I did 78/78 at 100 yards, sitting/kneeling. I actually did better sitting, but my target collected three rounds from the next lane, which disqualified my best three shots (a ten, a ten, and an X) so I would have shot closer to 90.

I was pleased I didn’t embarras myself. I was also amused to see a lot of high end black “tactical” rifles jamming. THe K31 never jammed.
need to get me some stripper clips.
