I have two K31's and a few other Schmidt-Rubins. I'm very happy with mine and I'm sure you will be with yours.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Looks real nice. You will love the way these shoot.

That is great and you even got the bayonet. What a super rifle to buy yourself. I sure would like one also. I don't want too much else right now if it is a new caliber, except this one. And a 6.5 Swedish, and that is it. Except maybe a 45/70 Govt., and a 36 caliber cap n ball revolver, and perhaps 6.5 Carcano, but that's it! except for the 7.62x38 Russian revolver, and .455 Webley. Yep, that's about it.
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 rifle, you'll love it. Still watching for a bayonet for mine yet, those things are about 1/3rd the price of a rifle now but they are a work of art.
I bought the rifle from SOG and it came with the sling. I did pay $50 extra for the bayonet and a brass muzzle cap. I'm going to order a Swiss cleaning kit just so I have it. I want to have an original cleaning kit for all my milsurp rifles. So far I do have one for each of them. I also need a leather frog for the bayonet. Oh yeah, one more thing I need ......480 Rd of GP11 !!
Scott, I think you went the right route. That was a nice package deal. Now if you found a nice sawback bayonet for a good price, but not sure if there is such a thing. They are expensive.

I just placed my order for a K31 with a walnut stock from AIM this afternoon. Jbob, I ordered the bayonet with it as well for $29.95 and intended to give you the link but I just checked it and they're already sold out.
OP, very nice looking rifle! I would love to see more pics of it & please let us know how she shoots.

Thanks for thinking of me, I just received my email and checked but to late, they were gone that quick. My C&R license just arrived and are being sent out to a couple places, I'll have one sometime soon.
Jbob, SOG has the Bayonets for around 50.00. Get your C&R into them so you can see what they have to offer.
Poly, Yes !! looks like a paragraph of laser stenciling on top of the receiver. It's just not right :-(.
Titanium: I'll let you know how it shoots in a few days. I only have 20 rounds of norma 7.5 x 55 which cost me an arm and a leg AND the other foot, but it was all that was available locally. I just put in a order with AIM for 500rd of GP11. SOG and Liberty Tree has some also but AIM is just a little better priced. I plan to shoot up the Norma either tomorrow ( Easter Sunday) or Tuesday. I'll post better pics when I have the time to get them done.

AimSurplus has bayonets on sale for 29.99. That is the cheapest I have seen them. They also have K31 on sale.
Edit. Sold out. Glad I picked up a spare yesterday.
