I hunted with mine last deer season. I carried it on an empty chamber. It is faster to work the action than to take off the safety.

The action is very fast. Not push a button fast, but faster than using the stock safety.

I'm shooting 3.5"-4" groups at 200yds with the factory iron sights, on sandbags. For some reason, the Prvi ammo is more accurate than GP11 in both mine and my son's K31s.

Wow, it is great to hear the advise that you guys gave. When I first got into rifles all I researched was the C&R military rifles. Thank you so much for telling him not to bubba it. The K-31 is a great rifle and oh, so accurate. The ammo is rare but what a great rifle. please check out surplusrifle.com for some great info on the K-31. I have been kicking myself for not picking one up 4 years ago when I had the money and they were dirt cheap. Enjoy!!

yeah the price of k31s are going up. I was lucky to pick up two from a fellow board member here, if you get a chance to pick one up for reasonable prices do it :-)

AIM surplus has the best deal on ammo that I can find right now (Prvi Partisan, GP11 is OK too). Previously, sportsmans guide had the best price on GP11, but they just jacked it up 50 bucks for a case last week. That's just greed as all that stuff was purchased almost a year ago and is just sitting on the shelves. Dans ammo has the best price on GP11, even with tax.
