Swiss K31

Here is my Swiss K31. It was built in 1948, and is all matching. It even has the original owners tag under the butt plate.

How easy is it to get bullets for that K31 in Canada or the USA?

@oilsander1

Purchasing it is easy. It's available on the Internet, and they'll ship it to your door. At least they do in Georgia. It's about $15.00 a box though.

schmidt rubin k31 is a lot better than the enfield

[dunbar555]

here in Switzerland you can get them for less than 70$ most of the time :)

I own 4 of them-

Well, I have one beech, and two walnut. All three are worth 3 to 4 times what I paid for them. I'd say that's a good reason to collect too. The right rifles will go up in value faster than the stock market, and almost never depreciate.

@ytykg - sadly, all the K31s were made in the same place. The only difference is that most post 1944 models have beech stocks instead of walnut.

The whole point of Swiss production methods is that they are ALL the same.

I have a Schmidt Rubin K31 made in 1936. A truly awesome gun

My mate is collecting the entire family. He only needs the Model 1899/1900 Short Rifle and Model 1905 Carbine

He has the very rare Kadet rifle though.

what caliber is it??

[coozy100]

@ytykg its like when you collect a certain type of car or coin.. just gotta have em all or you dont feel complete...ish

[klesmer]

@ytykg Amen. Having only one is never enough.

The pull technique taught at infantry schools in Switzerland was a little different, the fact of gripping the handle made you loose time and position, better is to pull the bolt with a upwards rotation of wrist keeping hand open and pulling with fingers practically straight, the pushing is done by the thumb as the had goes to the shooting grip position.

This last movement is much lighter than the pulling part since the arming of the firing pin occurs here.

As soon as the video reaches 0:20 click 0:10 so it will look like he's firing more rounds.
