When taken apart the interior of the stock looks brand new. The walnut stock shows the typical plethora of light dings and dents throughout, with no major damage anywhere. The stock is stamped “XII 43” under the butt plate.The serial numbers on the receiver, barrel, magazine, and in the barrel channel of the stock and upper handguard all match.It has the smallest, faintest import mark I have ever seen on the bottom of the barrel by the muzzle.It is not P marked, so was not purchased by the Swiss veteran upon leaving the service.(click here for the list of K31 Swiss rifle serial numbers by year) Per the serial number it would have been the 407th rifle out of 51,900 made that year.I have 3 complete K31 Swiss rifles and only one has a troop tag. The process of acquiring a milsurp rifle can be a blur. That is how it goes when the milsup bug bites you. However, I do have a vague recollection of looking over the few pictures they had listed before putting it in the shopping cart. I don’t actually recall exactly how I found this rifle online last week at a dealer in … Indiana, I think. How this Model 1931 Carbine (Karabiner) found it’s way to me I am thinking about accessorizing this one a bit with a scope mount, muzzle brake, and maybe a recoil pad (click here for Brownells link to these). I have just acquired reloading dies for the 7.5×55 Swiss round and look forward to working up loads for better accuracy in my reloading press. The K31 presents a trifecta of awesomeness that means most K31 Swiss rifles are superior shooting rifles by any standard, let alone by the standard of mass produced military service rifles. So, these rifles usually spent a lot of time in the rack and very little time being shot. Add to this the fact that the Swiss managed to stay out of armed conflict during the service span of the K31. The K31 Swiss shoots 7.5×55 Swiss ammo (Brownell’s link), which was never issued in corrosive form. While the plentiful and inexpensive Mosin Nagant is responsible for igniting my lust for old military rifles, the K31 Swiss is the rifle that leaves me nearly speechless.Īnd trust me… practically nothing leaves me speechless.
