Old Military Rifles
Anyone have experience with old Swiss rifles I just saw one that looked interesting
|
RE: Old Military Rifles
What kind ofSwiss rifle. I have a Swiss Mauser and a K31, both are great rifles. They both shoot great, have awesome triggers, and the actions are very smooth. The Mauser is chambered for 6.5X55 and the K31 is chambered for 7.5X55.

It was a K-31 for $119.00 at Cabelas. Seemed like a great buy. I assume it is a standard semi auto.
|
RE: Old Military Rifles
A K31 is a straight pull bolt action, not semi auto. And that is a decent price if it is in good condition.

RE: Old Military Rifles
I used to have a 8mm mauser and it was a really nice gun.

RE: Old Military Rifles
The k-31s are outstanding rifles. They are made with more precision than any modern mass produced rifle. They are very accurate with Swiss GP-11 7.5x55 ammo. $119 is a little on the high side for price right now, but the price is still very good considering what you get in the rifle. FWIW, the three that I have cost me between $49-100.

RE: Old Military Rifles
No Swiss Mausers, in 6.5x55 or otherwise. Swedish, not Swiss.
Briman's prices reflect a C&R FFL. $119 is a pretty decent retail for a K-31. Ammunition was limited until just a few years ago to big$ Norma. Now Swiss surplus is available, along with boxer primed ammunition and brassimported from Europe. In a pinch, brass can be formed from .284 Winchester, if ammo dries up again. |

RE: Old Military Rifles
German produced + Swedish steel + Swedish designed cartridge = Swiss?Must be new math.
The Swedes were very particular, that is true. The early guns Mauserwerke produced for Sweden, before the Swedes could tool up for production were either of Swedish supplied steel, or of the formula Sweden demanded contractually. Don't quite see how this equals Switzerland. |
