You'll really like that rifle, because they are tack drivers!

I'm gonna have to get me one.

Where do you find the ammo for it?

That is exactly where and when I got it and I love love to show it to ya but I'm like 3 hours away in New Jersey. They only made 500,000 sooooo yea I'd buy one now.

This is what made me buy it.
1. All matching numbers
2. Built Like a Rolex

3. Yea the stocks are a little beat but its cool history of how the SWISS solider would stick the rifle in the snow ans kick it out with cleated boots when deploying. (Probably eating chocolate and skiing around with these! ha)
NOTE: USE BOILED LINSEED OIL like ten times and it looks pretty damn nice. I don't mind dents when it shoots like a 1,200 dollar gun with A DAMN good trigger pull.

Unfortunately mine was not one that has the infantry man's name in it . I was going to write him (prob dead) or his family about the weapon. Great price great history, great shooting.

Good youtube vids

YouTube - Schmidt Rubin K31 (first time fired in USA)
YouTube - Schmidt-Rubin Model 31 (Swiss K31) 420 yards (open sights)

The Swiss Lady after she's all refinished and looking good.

[jtkratzer]

Very nice. You guys are tempting me.

[jtkratzer]

Is $200 a good price a carbine model? Or should I look for a full length model? Or are they all this size? Perhaps this one:

[chrisxd45t]

All K-31's were carbines if I'm not mistaken.
$200 is fine for that one; prices aren't going down on these rifles.
I'd protect that wood with something though.

Would you buy it?

Here's the info on the ad:

All numbers match, bore mint. walnut, great shooter, great shape. $200 FTF

[chrisxd45t]

I would. I got mine 3 years ago, numbers matching for for $145.
Walnut stocks seem to command a higher price.
Just finish the wood and you'll have a sweet rifle.

Here's mine

I'd really like to get my hands on one to check it out before buying one. The problem is the one pictured is 4 hours away.

I wish someone local had one to check out.
