Title: New Swiss K-31!
Post by: jennyfell55 on September 11, 2013, 03:04:45 PM: I've had the bug for a while, and finally found a nice K-31 for the right price :IBCOOL: Made in 1944, all matching (including the stock). Figured I'd share some pics! Now I just need to get some ammo and shoot it!

Post by: jennyfell55 on September 12, 2013, 12:48:52 PM: Unfortunately there is no troop tag under the butt plate... I already looked :'( From the markings I've figured out that the soldier chose to keep the rifle upon retirement, and probably removed the tag at that point.

I have one as well, they are VERY accurate with the GP-11 surplus ammo, I'm working to develop a load for mine that shoots to the same point. Also one of the outfitters markets Hornady loads for various military rifles....at WWW.Grafs.com (http://WWW.Grafs.com) there is Hornady, Ruag GP-11 surplus and Prvi Partizan ammo for your rifle. Also do a google search for GP-11 ammo, lots out there.
