It seems like everytime I look at K98's they skyrocket, K31's to. The economy may be bad but the market for these things is super hot. A good K98 ie not a Russian capture with matching parts in good condition is now a $1k rifle all day long.

K31's are racing over $500 and will probably be at the grand mark in a year or two.
