Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Very nice. I just bought my first K31 a few weeks ago. I still need ammo for it.

I'd feel like less of a dork if I hadn't left the muzzle protector on upside down! Now I have to drag it all out and re-photograph it.

Nice. The Toe on mine is a little grundged up from coming in contact with cleated snow boots. Just adds character IMHO...

One of my goals for 2015 is to get this rifle scoped by the end of the year, I have a feeling this K31 is much more accurate than my vision allows it to be. I already know I am getting the Swiss Products detachable mount but which kind of low dollar scope could I pick up used that would make economical sense for a $350.00 rifle that will be good for it?
