Grafs has brass for $46 per 100. I can reload it cheaper than I can buy it. Anyone know where I can get some fmj bullets cheap?

Thanks for the forum Chris. I bought GP11 about 3yrs. back when I got my first K31. Now I have 10 K31s and about 700rds. of ammo. That'll probably last me thru the remainder of my shooting years. A hundred rounds of Privi to go with my GP11 so if I ever decide to start reloading again I can.
I also have a K11, 1911 and a 96/11. The 1911 has a trigger pull of less than 3lbs.......too low for sanctioned matches but very nice for just everyday target shooting. K31 owners who have never handled a K11 should seek one out and try it. It weighs the same as the K31 but feels lighter to me because the stock is smaller especially at the pistol grip. The $200 K31s have disappeared and the K11s are very scarce. Empire Arms has the largest inventory of Swiss rifles I've seen. I'll try to post some photos when I learn how to do it easily.

Yes I do have Mosins

+1 on this. I do the same. Lately I had been buying 200 rds of 8mm Yugo ammo everytime I made an order over $99. Then I"d get to use the coupon too. Then they'd send me like 4 more. 8mm Yugo now is on backorder, so who knows when it will come. I just picked up 1200 rds of Turk 8mm, so that will suffice for now. Fit it all in 2 ammo cans. But I took them all out of the bandoliers.

Took my k31 out to the range for the first time today and shot some nice tight 1" groups. I love this rifle.

Thanks Lefty for starting the first thread. Now go back to shooting those ugly Mosins.

I have the birch stock one. Refinnished the stock with chemical clean and light sanding.
Shoots a consistant 3" group with either milsurp or Prvi. The action needs to be bedded. Bet that will tighten up t he groups.

Lefty, LHS, you have one of these puppies?
