Don't Miss Out On Great Truck/Barn Rifle....

[JJ_Miller]

I just got off the phone with Samco Global, the original run of complete matching Schmidt Rubin K-31's is drawing to an end. They have a few left, but their new ad in Shotgun news offers matching bolt and receiver only. From now on the ad's will sell built up parts guns. The initial batch of K-31's were complete to include a name tag under the butt plate with the last Swiss Home Guard member who was issued the rifle. These will be gone soon.

The K-31 is made like a Swiss watch, all that I have shot stay under 2 MOA, tough as nails but ugly as Murbachs butt.

If you missed the cheap 6.5 Swedes and want a QUALITY Mil-surp this is your chance.

I leave one at the farm and keep one in my truck. It very roughly equals the 308 but its a 7.5 caliber. Swiss match ammo is still cheap. If you don't mind ugly, you get a great rifle for $200.00. They are a keeper..................................JJ

JJ: Wouldn't part with mine. Built like a surgical instrument, with a trigger to die for on a fine sporting rifle, much less a military surplus arm.

[O.S.O.K.]

I have been able to resist these. But I will say that the one's that I have shot were tack drivers - more accurate than you can beleive an iron sighted battle rifle could be - just like the Swede Mausers.

I'm trying to free some of my guns right now and have slipped and bought some new ones in the process! Its hard being a gun junky and reducing your herd!

But I'm also a mountain junky and would really like to lay claim to a small acreage in S. Colo....

I just sold mine last weekend for $100. These are great shooters. I have had only one k31 and if it were not for the price of gas, I would never had sold it.

The 7.5 x 55mm Swiss is an easy cartridge to handload. The same .308" bullets and powders used in .308 Winchester and .30/06 work fine for the 7.5 Swiss. Surplus GP11 ammo is available as well as factory loads from Prvi Partizan, Wolf and others. New brass from Norma s over $1.00 apiece. Information overload here

I really like milsurps and if money wasn't so tight I would probably have a bunch. I wouldn't mind getting one of them there swiss'ers either.

Had one and sold it. Instantly regretted it. Been looking to replace it.

Guess I better do it soon.

I bought one a couple of years ago. I don't shoot it alot, but like someone said, it is built like a swiss watch and is a tack driver. The stocks are mostly "beaver chewed", so they aren't much to look at. I've heard the stocks got chewed up because the Swiss soldiers would jam the butt down in the snow and would have to kick it out with their hob nailed boots from the frozen snow the next morning.

The straight pull bolt is neat to operate. I read one article by a gun writer who said if the rifle were built today, it cost something like $2,000 to duplicate at its quality level.

Glad I bought mine when i did. I also bought a case of the GP11 Swiss military surplus ammo that shoots like match grade.

I have never done it or anything but seems like I read somwheres that ifn' a feller takes a coarse mill bastard and files about a quarter inch off the nose of that GP11 ammo it explodes better than an A Max bullet on feral cats. Like I said I don't know first hand or nothin' cuz I 'm a wild house cats best friend .....................................JJ
