i must say the straight pull design on the k31 is an excellent choice for a bolt-action rifle. beautifly simplistic. Ive heard that the stocks on almost all k31 are in horrid condition. is this true, by the way, are you fluent in Swiss?

[Iraqveteran8888]

The stocks vary, but generally, they are all in used and often abused shape. It has to do with the amount of drilling and training they did with the rifles. Also, using the stock as a snow cleat can bang them up pretty quick to.

I can understand a little german, but usually, I have to translate most foreign languages.

wow dry fire much

[Iraqveteran8888]

It's not going to hurt anything.

@mmaTAPOUTfighter

Only thing dry firing is really going to hurt is a rimfire. I still prefer not to, but it's not gonna damage anything with this rifle. With rimfire rifles though, it slams the firing pin into the edge of the barrel.

@BlackHawk2029

Yep you can break a firing pin or weaken certain springs in a heart beat. In some cases, you can damage the extractor on rimfires with dry firing. Rimfires are one type of firearm you MUST have snap caps for.

Thank you. What other rifle(s) stripper clips can be used for this gun? Would a 7mm Mauser, 7.5mm French, or Mosin Nagant clip(s) work, too?

thats what i love about my swiss tradition. in my gun cabinet i have my grandfaters "Karabiner 11" (as shown in this video) my fathers "Sturmgewehr 57" and my "Sturmgewehr 90" (Sig 550) all used in Swiss military service

@GunBroker100 That should have been Heat treatment variables. Sorry, don't want the typo police to have a cow.

[GunBroker100]

@Iraqveteran8888 Then Why do you suppose the operation manual of all firearms includes a section on not dry firing? The firing pin has a shoulder that contacts a machined surface inside the breech block to control protrusion length. Dry firing without a snap cap or primer for the firing pin to impact can and will stretch this section of the firing pin to the point of failure. Older firearms are more susceptible to this because of heating treatment variables. Dry firing is a bad habit on any gun.

Thats clever!!

@ScorpyEmp21 yeah I know, so why would he attack one of the strongest armies in the world? He was scared. He knew he couldnt defeat them. Same reason Hitler didnt attack the U.S.

Second: umm SWITZERLAND, not switserland, Was surrounded by germany, italy, france, and Austria. Germany and Italy were allies and they sacked france and owned austria. So it was a very UNstrategic place not to own. Now you are correct, he knew he couldnt defeat them but owning that land right in the mntns is an advant

[ScorpyEmp21]

@sjnewsome

Hitler wasnt so stupid to attack switserland.

point 1, Switserland has one of the strongest armies in the world.

point 2, Switserland does not have a great stragetic position, switserland are mountains, mountains, mountains... what else?

point 3, to attack a country full of mountains is just suicide, Hitler knew that.

This is a very good rifle.
