Well, it finally showed up. Almost three weeks after I ordered it and it being overdue by UPS for 6 days. Here she is, the final piece of the swiss collection, my K31. I paid extra for a handpick but I dont think I really got that. The pics will explain why.










Huge ding in the buttstock



Fresh crack in the stock

The ding in the butt stock notwithstanding, the stock is in better shape than many I've seen with "beaver-chewed" marks all over the lower areas of the stock. That crack is not good though! Will you be looking to return it, or will you repair it?

I'm just gonna keep it. They sold out quick.

It looks pretty recent to me.

Doesn't look bad to me. Hand-pick is sometimes meaningless when they're hand-picking out a group of 2. Actually, that dinged-up butt isn't all that uncommon on K31's and K11"s. All kinds of rumors regarding hob-nailed boots and such. I'll bet you get happy when you shoot it.

They do shoot pretty well.
