How is the milsurp market these days?

Centerfire still has K31's for $399.
Got four of them earlier this year, they were all really nice. Just throwing that out there.

Did it come with a magazine?

 

[jscooba]

No. Bought an aftermarket one. Everything else is numbers matching, troop tag under the butt plate too.

Not such a deal after all I suppose. They are great shooters though

I don't know about y'all, but this time of the year is the perfect time to get outside and blast through ammo with your favorite milsurps

I remember the Mosins in crates for $99. Fast forward to today...
Have several Vepr's built in the Molet factory and love em... Kalashnikov at its finest.
Fella had a Mosin that came from the Molet factory and sold it to me cheap. Found out why...
Had periodic light primer strikes. Adjusted firing pin to no avail. Bought a new firing pin spring and saw the original was shorter. New spring in and no more issue.
Put it in an archangel stock with adjustable butt stock and AK style magazine, drilled and tapped scope mount on receiver and aftermarket trigger set.
Damn accurate rifle and get plenty of cheap shooting with the $.20 ammo I bought years ago!

So today I picked up a 1942 winchester M1 carbine. No bayo lug, push button safety, 2 rivet winchester handguard. W's on all parts I could see when I took the stock off. Here's the deal. The stock is not USGI. It doesn't have the cut for the oiler. Should I get a winchester stock from J&G for $100 or just leave the rifle as is?
