K-31 Suomi Carbine

Someone could probably rebarrel one of these for 18.5 inches, and make it non-restricted.

Then it would be a great companion for a Mosin Nagant M91/30...

The only thing is the barrel is quick detachable; in that case, is the trunnion with the locking lugs screwed into the barrel proper? Rebarrelling might be a bit complex - it would still be a nice firearm, with power not far from a .357 magnum.

if it was nonrestricted i'd be very interested .
a restricted rifle is useless to me .

"Well if they are classified restricted why stick with the ridiculously long barrel ? "

in an effort to keep costs down we are going with the standard US Model barrel....
Exportig it with a shorter barrel would require a completely different ruling by State.

That's too bad .
That gun with a 18.5" barrel would look even worse
It's bad enough with the 16" and since we can't shorten it here to the original length I see no point in owning one . Thank god my 1927A1 Thompson 16" barrel was cut down yrs ago before the BS regulations came out

I thought the 19" barrelled Thompsons were nice enough. Too bad they are all now wall hangers.

Neat! I'm not familiar with the design, but might be fun to have one for a "dicking around in the bush with a rediculously long non-res barrel gun"

It sure is not a Mac-11
