I know I just posted my collection yesterday but wanted a separate post with just my new K31. This K31 is a low 56xxxxx serial dating it to 1936. Bought as a rack grade and came with both the sling and muzzle cap which I am thankful for. The stock is definitely a bit beat up but that is to be expected for a 90 year old rifle.

Charger clips are 3d printed from thingiverse and feed absolutely flawlessly from my test. I actually printed 12 of them out because at the end of the day they each cost probably about $0.12.

Ammo is bulk S&B 7.5mm swiss. Interested to see how it shoots.

Jacket is Swiss surplus TAZ 83 (better known as Alpenflage). I have a TAZ 57 jacket on the way. Seems the Swiss surplus is drying up a bit so get it while you can.

I just spent the last week in Switzerland for a conference. It’s a wonderful country full of wonderful people. Being away made me realize just truly how far Canada has fallen with respect to service, respect, public order, personal decorum, and culture. Your K31 is beautiful.

Such a neat and fun rifle, miss having mountains of surplus around for cheap but all good things come to an end. Still worth it for what it is since surplus 7.5swiss is basically Match Grade though Berdan Primed

I've been to plenty of ranges and seen people wearing camo jackets of military or hunting origin.
