Description:
Swiss K31 Schmidt Rubin rifle- features a walnut stock with a very nice grain pattern. It has all matching numbers on the receiver, bolt, and detachable magazine. This is one I have had for several years- appears to be much “cleaner” than the more recent imports I have seen. Listed below is some historical info on this model I found on Wikipedia that may be of interest. Buyer pays $39 UPS ground s&h to the lower 48. Credit/Debit card payments add 3% to the total price.

The Karabiner Model 1931 (K31) is a magazine-fed, straight-pull bolt-action rifle. It was the standard issue rifle of the Swiss armed forces from 1933 until 1958, though examples remained in service into the 1970s. It has a 6-round removable magazine, and is chambered for the 7.5x55mm Swiss (also known as Gewehrpatrone 1911, GP11, or unofficially 7.5x55mm Schmidt Rubin), a cartridge with ballistic qualities similar to the 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 Winchester cartridge. Each rifle included a 6 round detachable box magazine with matching engraved serial number. A stripper clip loads the magazine from the top of the receiver. The K31 is noted for its straight-pull action, meaning that the bolt is pulled directly back, then pushed forward to cycle the action between shots, rather than being turned and pulled back and forth, as in the Mosin Nagant pattern rifles such as the M1891, or as in the more well-known Mauser pattern rifles such as the K98k. K31s are also noted for their excellent accuracy and quality. The Swiss considered individual marksmanship to be of utmost importance. Therefore, the K31 was made with tight tolerances and excellent overall craftsmanship. Many shooters are able to achieve one minute of arc with unmodified K31s. This means that a group of bullets shot at 100 yards will stay within a 1" diameter area, a group at 200 yards will stay within 2", etc. This is achievable with factory sights. As a standard service rifle of the Swiss armed forces, the K31 was replaced by the SIG 510, under the military designation of Sturmgewehr 57, in 1958. As of 2010 the Swiss arsenals are long sold out and the rifles now available for sale in countries around the world are ex-Swiss-civilian owned rifles.
