Swiss make their rifles with the precision of a Swiss watch. Being a Swiss citizen and owning one of these guns...it makes me proud!

My K31 is the most accurate milsurp rifle I own hands down. 2" groups at 200 meters is not uncommon. I have even taken it deer hunting in Michigan many times.

The Swiss don't make junk.

only 582 thousand k31s were produced for the swiss government. sorry

@TheRossBeast I think it shows the difference between quantity and quality. WW2 Mosin Nagants may lack in looks, but they'll work admirably if maintained. That includes cleaning out the reciever/bore of cosmoline to avoid the sticky bolt when the action heats up from firing. I have a 1942 No.4 Lee Enfield here, 1941 K31, and 1941 M1 Garand. The Americans and Swiss weren't rushed into making rifles as fast as possible like the Russians. I have a refurb 1939 M91/30 as well, pre-war beauty.

the k31 was replaced in 1957 by the sig 510, not in 1958, but the rest of the video is ok!

@LukasMatthys I'm going to Switzerland, would they sell them to foreingners?

Did see some combat.
A brief spat at the Bagni di Craveggia in 1944.
Officially Swiss didn't take part but at a certain moment had to forcibly convince Italian units allied to the Germans to stay clear of border.
The specific terrain and long range capacity of the K31 was convincing enough.
Here in Switzerland you can buy the for $80 - 100 and we are still shoting competitions with them.
Swiss shooter swear on the k31 becaus you can shoot better than with a modern swiss army weapon.
