Small, extremely fine shipment of Swiss Karabiner Model 1931 (K31) 7.5x55mm Swiss Caliber Rifles. Incredible Swiss craftsmanship; unique straight pull bolt action; extreme accuracy; make these one of the most sought after surplus rifles. Don't forget to remove the butt plate to see if the original Swiss owner's info is hidden there!...Must have for all shooters and collectors!

From AIM's website (FAQ section):
Q: What does "Hand Pick” mean?
A: We offer a $10 handpick option on many of our firearms. If you choose this option, our shipping staff will take the time to examine 5 of the same item ordered and then choose the cosmetically best one of the 5. This does not mean you will get a completely better condition. For example: handpicking a very-good Swiss K31 will not necessarily give you an Excellent condition Swiss K31. We can handpick for certain manufacturers, dates, and other details subject to availability. Such requests must be made over the phone and may not be available in some circumstances.
That is all fine and good, but most of the time, Aim has been good about indicating that surplus either did, or did not have matching numbers. This time with the K31's, there was no indication that they would not be matching.

Point taken TC21.... thanks.
Regardless of what the description was and what the hand pick option says, I was disappointed. Am I upset with Aim? Nope.
Not the end of the world but that's my opinion on the rifle that I received and paid extra for. I have bought a number of these rifles going back to the early 2000's, when they were $75/ea (I think), and this is the first that has non matching numbers. Not just one number but ALL of them. It is also the first time I ever ponied up for the hand pick fee.
Now....... I think the original question is valid and fair. So simmer down....
