Thanks grease

All I know is its 7.62x51 and not sporterized. The guy is old and doesnt know much.

What makes an ishapore enfield collectible? I look on gb and the selling prices run from 200 to 500. I am looking to buy one tomorrow morning. He wants 350 for it. It includes the bayonet. I havent seen it yet. What do I look for?

I removed the buttplate and did not find any soldier info. I did find the number 37 (1937). Mine is 1940 so the rifle was built with a stock made 3 years earlier. Or was the stock replaced by the Swiss with an old new stock.

Will do. Thanks for the heads up. BTW, are those spring like sling connectors regular issue?

I really like the D model. Had one a while back and didnt really appreciate it like I do now. Wish I still had it.

That's a lot better than what I had for lunch.

I da foo !

There arent any others out there for sale

Looks like a mak 90. No thumbhole. In 223 cal

I have another annoying "whats it worth" question. I could buy a "Norinco 84s" in 223. He wants $850.00. It is like new with original manual and 3 30 rnd original mags. It seems high to me, but how high is it? Is it in the ballpark to talk him down?

Nice looking lineup. Thanks for the info. Now I really want to take a peek under the buttplate.

WOW that is way nice. Has a walnut stock to go with it. NEATO :Drool1: :Drool1: :vcool: :vcool: :vcool: You may know this already but many of the k31s were re fitted with beach stocks because of the dings the original ones received from spiked boots. The original walnut stocks have matching serial ...

You should post pictures of the '04 or these guys wont believe you.

I never took the butt plate off. I will check it after work tonight. Speaking of stock condition, this rifle came from some guys collection of 15 k31's. Four or five were like the day they were made. He kept those.

I have heard of that happening (slam fire). The pin on this one moves freely, but I will spray it out good w/carb cleaner then put gun oil in it.

I wouldn't get rid of an 04 ex dragoon. The swede might be worth a little more, but you can buy a swede anywhere. Just my opinion.
Btw, my 1st mosin was a '26 ex dragoon.

Too many variables too consider. Is the Swede matching #s? Is the bore shootable? Some of these look kinda bad. What kind of mosin are you talking about?

I had the camera out and ready, so I thought I would take some pics of the K31. It is all matching and original, including the stocks. Bore is bright and shiny.

Here are some pics before thorough cleaning. I have the bayo, just not on in the pics.
