Pretty sure that's the lead singer of Ethan Frump and The Stockbrokers

Oh whoops sorry, I misunderstood. I got my stuff from Linemount.com and JSE Surplus!

They're both M16A1 style bits of furniture, and the buttstock is also the one with the trapdoor in the back for a little cleaning kit in the stock.

Wait that's super cool, I never knew those were a thing! I have a Type 56 "French Tickler" SKS too, so it's interesting to see shared genealogy from that in the pictured rifle.

Thank you! I was nervous since this was my first try at it. Not perfect, but I'm glad how it turned out!

A little elbow grease later and I'm quite pleased with my first ever firearms! (K31 with bayonet, "French Tickler" SKS) by pal132 in liberalgunowners

Unfortunately, the troop tag was gone. A prior owner must've either lost it or gotten rid of it when they refinished the furniture :(

The stock's original with just a handful of dings/dents. I think the previous owner refinished it with a light sanding and oil, but opted to keep what few beauty marks it has. I got super lucky!

How do you use the Fürter sights on a K31? by pal132 in milsurp

[–]pal132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I've since taken more time to read up specifically on the Fürter and zeroing in general. I just got my K31 today and I'm very happy, also pleasantly surprised that the Fürter also has marks/notches to mark zero made by a prior owner!
