Way ahead of ya there. I have a really pretty K31 that someone refinished pretty nicely. I mostly like original as much as possible, but since the K31s weren't really ever in combat, I figured it wouldn't matter. Plus it was just too pretty to pass up.

As for the Persian/Finn discussion, I am just expanding my horizons and trying to decide what to get first. I will eventually have both anyway, I am sure. Also tossed the idea about saving up for one of the Swede M41Bs from Samco...
Welcome to Samco Global Arms, Inc. Buuuut that is a CHUNK OF CHANGE!!
Will be buying a Carbine and Garand first anyway.
P.s. I checked out the "how many mausers do you have?" page and thats a good list you have going there. I replied to your post on Iron Colonel's thread, with a link for you a place to pick up a nice K98
