Which company better?? Any help please?

[wfsdno]

Okay, finally leaning towards a k-31.....

Who has the best (and lowest price) k-31?

Samco ---$159.00(beach) $179.00(walnut)
AIM --- $199.00
SOG --- unknown but usually have them...
Anyone else?

I've bought several times from SOG without a problem, once from AIM but never from Samco.

I like the walnut stock, but is that more a personal choice?

Thanks from a Newbie to Swiss Forum.

p.s. I did do a search for this info but found only one post about samco.

Try FGS, great to deal with and good stuff.

They all seem to be good , but Samco is Sloooooooooowwwwww!. There is a Walnut k31 on the trader for sale.

Just emailed the guy about the k-31. How does it look to you guys?

Who is FGS? New one to me...

Thanks!! Roger

they provide a muzzle cover and sling with the rifle as part of the deal. Kind of a family operation, there are only about 3-4 people working for them. The nicest K-31 I ever bought came from Simpsons Ltd in Illinoise, and gasp i paid $200.00 for it 6 years ago.

I'll second that opinion reguarding FGS! I've bought a dozen k31's from them over a 4 year period and all were nice. I don't like to buy firearms sight unseen but i have no problem letting the boys at FGS pick for me. Their import mark under the muzzle is so tiny and lightly stamped its barely noticable. Most descrete import mark you'll find of a k31.

There are a lot of k31's in private hands, and some people have several, some even dozens. Look around all the gun forums and you might find one for the going price WITH pictures, and description, and extras.
Here are a bunch of links, probably most of them have wts/wtb forums:

I have sold 3 in the last 2 months to very happy customers.

I got a K31 from AIM a couple of months ago. I prefer dealing with them to any of the others you mention - I've never been disappointed.

It was walnut and the wood was pretty nice, better than the average ones I have seen lately.

The bore was excellent!

95%+ bluing and new looking bore. Took just over a week.

Go with any company but SCUMCO (SAMCO)-I'd rather floss my teeth with a belt sander than deal with them again.

Since I just had a good order from them, how about some specifics from you experience?
