Any value to a K31 in .30-30

[kolik1]

I've been made aware of a rifle that may be heading to the smelting pot, it's a K31 that's been re-chambered to .30-30. Wondering what a fair value range for such a rifle would be, I don't want to see any rifle get turned in and sent to the smelting pot.

$100

They're usually not that desirable because of the conversion and usual accompanying sporterization... Also, more than a few have feeding problems, extraction problems etc..

Cool if you find one that works well though. A nice truck gun.

Sure its a K-31? Most of the .30-30 conversions were earlier rifles.
$100-$150, if in sound shooting order. Maybe less. Not much sought after.

I imagine it's a k11, been looking at these the last little bit and I have never seen a k31 with the conversion yet.

95% probability it's an M1889 Schmidt Rubin. if it's in 30-30.

M96-11 and M1911 were converted to .308
