texnmidwest · 02-28-2008, 05:03 AM

Congrats Steve!! Have fun with that thing. Get some ammo and give us a range report! I got my ammo from AIM but they all seem to be the same price.

SwedeSteve · 02-28-2008, 12:53 PM

Yep, gotta buy some ammo Tex!

squirrelbaster · 02-28-2008, 01:01 PM

does yours have the id tag in the butstock?

SwedeSteve · 02-29-2008, 01:46 PM

Glock- My Swiss came already cleaned of cosmo. Gonna strip it and clean her down good anyway.
Squirrel- Yes it came with a tag behind the buttplate.
She's a 1937, with a nice walnut stock and tight as a drum!

texnmidwest · 02-29-2008, 01:50 PM

Congrats on the troop tag! Adds value! I love my K31. It is a 54 model. Looks like I am going to be able to shoot it tomorrow!!!

NRAJOE · 02-29-2008, 06:32 PM

About time and welcome to the club...very accurate rifles!

Got a walnut and a beech my self...wrote both guys...only got a reply from the walnut...got 1,200 rds of Swiss GP11 ammo stashed too....enjoy!

Walnut...

Beech...

SwedeSteve · 03-01-2008, 12:31 AM

Thanks guys. I googled the tag's address and it is still there, so will write to see if I get a response! I read a long time ago, when I got my first Swede, that after WWII they would hold Int'l Service Rifle Competitions. Each country supplied their rifles with their ammo, and the Swedes and K-31 outshout everyone more times than not. Since then I have been waiting to get my hands on one of these! Hope to get to shoot her in the next couple of days. Once again, thanks for the info, etc.!

Hey guys- Did your K-31's come with a cleaning rod?

Farmer · 03-18-2008, 06:24 AM

Swede,
Where's the piccy?
How did it go?
Mine came with a cleaning kit (cord) but no rod, but then again mine is my wifes grandfathers.

SwedeSteve · 03-18-2008, 09:34 AM

I have cleaned her up pretty much. I have yet to shoot her! Too many irons in the fire right now. I'll get a pick up today.

FatAlbert · 03-22-2008, 01:23 PM

If you plan on reloading for your K31 you need to read this article as the chambers on K31 rifles are different than the older 7.5's

SwedeSteve · 03-22-2008, 04:18 PM

Right! Read that too. Redding dies all the way!

jerry · 03-22-2008, 04:50 PM

Congrats Steve. Glad you got a new gun.

Nice uns ya have there Joe. Told ya your collection would grow again someday

SwedeSteve · 03-23-2008, 04:09 PM

Got around to taking a pic or so of my K-31.

knightRider · 03-23-2008, 04:35 PM

nice i like my k-31 too, good buy

texnmidwest · 03-23-2008, 04:41 PM

Swede, thanks for posting the pics! I love that rich color of that stock. Looks like you have a keeper on your hands! Now, you go shoot yours and I will shoot mine next weekend and we both can post range reports!

GlockMeister · 03-23-2008, 05:12 PM

Cleaned up really well swede, very nice looking K-31. When you get to shoot it, if you haven't already, be sure to let us know how she shoots...

acarpenter · 03-25-2008, 12:50 AM

what do you think of this??
someone had already done a pretty nice wood refinish on her for me...
second pic shows a ding that i might try and see if i can't steam out.
