Here's the newest K31 that I got from Allan's Armory this week. It has the Finn type splice with a lighter piece of wood to the forend. I think this is my most interesting K31 now.

It's a 1944 with an electropenciled bolt sleeve.

LoLo -
That is unique! I've thought for some time that the Swiss and the Finns were the best at filling knots and slicing pieces. It adds character that a perfect piece of wood does not have.

That is definitely something different:) Splices are rather common, but the placement of that one is pretty interesting.
Thanks for sharing,
