I just cleaned them up and lubed them and put them in the safe. I took one out today years later to play with it. Back then i took the bolts apart and lubed them with moly. I noticed how smooth the bolts got after lubing them. I have some 7,5mm GP11 ammo and i'm going to shoot it soon. I was wondering how good are groups with this rifle and ammo benchrested at 100yds? I would like to build a swiss k31 using the stmarie drill/tap scopemounts and i'm thinking of taking another one of my k31's and putting the stmarie doptler sights on it too. Any thoughts?

You've stumbled onto one of the finest and most accurate milsurp rifles available!! K31's in good condition with GP11 can hold sub MOA groups if the operator is willing to oblige... Enjoy!

One day while oiling up the guns i never knew i had so many of the k31's. As far as accuracy if i can shoot 1 1/2" groups at 100yds with my swede m96 carl gustaf 6,5mm mauser benchrested and I'm hoping the swiss k31 will match that or even do better if i do my part. I'm not the greatest marksman nor bragging but i can hold my own. Now i need to get out and shoot the k31 to see how it does. BTW; I had this swiss flu for a while now but i didn't know what it was until i held the rifle again today i just got that warm and fuzzy feeling again.(kidding) But these rifles are awesome. I been told the top 3 military surplus bolt action rifles are the swiss k31, finnish m39 and the swede m96 mauser. Soon i will find out for sure i guess. Last Edited By: bigbill 12/17/08 13:47:15.

That is why we have multiple Swiss items.

It will open a window and you can create a folder for your pics. In the folder click on upload files, click on browse and you can import pics from your computer to the folder. When creating a new topic or reply click on the add images and select your pic. It's easy as I was able to figure it out and if I can anyone can.

I found the Belhen solar lux orange/yellow stain matches the orginal stain on the swiss k31's. Then with a few coats of formby's tung oil its looking good. Not like new but it still has the history marks on it too. Now she is all dressed up and ready to shoot. Last Edited By: bigbill 12/18/08 07:36:30. Edited 1 times.

The walnut stocks were the worst ones but they all did clean up ok. After i cleaned up each stock i purchased another k31 and the process continued till i got burned out.

To keep from getting burned out you need to buy other models of the Swiss rifles. Vetterli, 89,89/96, 96/11, 1911, K11 and on and on and on. There are more than can be listed.

They were sending the beech and walnut stocks for the same price. Its funny how once the ammo became available how fast these rifles caught on. It was the samething with the swede mausers too they were dirt cheap and no one would buy them until the ammmo became available. History does repeat itself for sure. Samco Global arms was offering the older swiss rifles for many years but i never bought one. They were a little pricey even back then too.
