In reply to the discussion: How Military Guns Make the Civilian Market [View all]DonP
(6,185 posts)34. I like my K-31 but ...
It's more like a piece of fine jewelry than a battle rifle.
One look at the fine Swiss machine work on the action and you know if it got dropped in the mud or sand at Omaha beach or Entiewok Atoll, you'd have to spend 20 minutes cleaning that beautiful straight pull action. As opposed to my "Peasant Proof" Mosin-Nagant 91-30, that could have been buried in the rubble of Stalingrad for 70 years and would still work.
But the K-31 is also the only rifle I don't have to reload for. The stock military ammo is match grade quality.
FWIW, my insults were aimed at the writer for being either ignorant or lazy and to anyone dumb enough to buy his story a face value. In a way, a self qualifying insult.

That's as ridiculous as saying anyone choosing to not carry WANTS to be a victim.

You just don't get it do you? You don't even try to get it, it seems. Don't want to get it.
