That's the risk of ordering "sight unseen". You may pay half as much, but also get a rifle in half as good condition!
I have a Spanish Guardia Civil coming now, and am praying it's in as good shape as the one my shooting buddy got.
Getting a K31 that has a superb stock is a rare thing - I might have been willing to go $300 for one if I really wanted it. Think what that $300 will buy in a NEW rifle! Cheap black synthetic stock, a 'lawyer trigger' and no frills . . .
