Why would anybody want a swiss rifle when there are all those nice Mosin Nagant Rifles out there also?
Just wanted to be the first to start a thread in the new forum!

BTW: THANKS CHRIS! YOU ROCK!!!

id love a k31 but ammo is not the most avalable from what ive heard.

LefthandShooter · 03-18-2009, 01:33 PM

Sportsman's Guide usually has it I believe. Around $0.50 a round though.

Cyrano · 03-18-2009, 03:47 PM

The K-31s are good rifles, but their ammo is not the easiest thing in the world to find at your local gun store. Mostly you have to order it in bulk online, and it's not inexpensive to do that. That makes them a little too aggravating for my taste, no matter how well they shoot - and they do shoot very well.

adamhgkb · 03-18-2009, 03:58 PM

Sportsmans guide is out of the cases (480) at a time which was very nicely priced...........and i cant find it ANYWHERE for as cheap as they had it anymore........so I love my 2 K31s but to anyone out there wanting be aware ammo isnt attractive

GUNZABLAZIN · 03-18-2009, 09:39 PM

YAY!!!!! WE SWISSER'S HAVE A REAL HOME. I have just been buying Privi for $14.25 a box just for the brass, .71 cents a round.

By the way I just wanted to mention that Chris made a H&R forum in the manufactures area!!

adamhgkb · 03-18-2009, 10:50 PM

WOW thats pricey........but its reusable?.........anybody know where the GP11 is still available?

White Death · 03-18-2009, 11:19 PM

Prvi brass is fully relodable.

Tulamosin · 03-18-2009, 11:58 PM

Well we've got a swiss category and the Charles Daly category disappeared. Apparently, someone was listening.

Iron_Colonel · 03-19-2009, 03:26 AM

YES! An excellently prudent course of action, creating a Swiss Rifles thread! So, here we go.....

And we can even edit too!

texnmidwest · 03-19-2009, 09:25 PM

Duhnam's has G11 ammo available. They want a dollar a round for it though. I bought some online from AIM a while back. They don't have any at the moment.

texnmidwest · 03-19-2009, 09:29 PM

Here is some!

60 Rds. Swiss Mil. 7.5 X 55 Ammo, Rifle Ammunition, Military/Surplus at Sportsman's Guide

jmeck · 03-19-2009, 10:50 PM

Aprox 50 cents a round for GP11 isn't too bad, thats what I've been finding it for at the local gunshows. Mosin rounds for 19 cents each do tend to make us spoiled when it comes to milsurp ammo. I bought my first 440 rnd tin 3 years ago for $44 , its twice that now.

adamhgkb · 03-19-2009, 10:54 PM

can you guys imagine with mr Obama in office what our precious milsurp ammo will be costing us in another 3 years? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus how much Gp11 ammo could there be out there? I mean a tiny country like that how much would they have made?

The only place I have found it is SG.I joined their buyers club a few years ago,and use the ten dollars off coupons they send me.

GUNZABLAZIN · 03-20-2009, 09:56 PM

I'm not even messing around with Berdan primed,I'm buying all the reloadable ammo I can afford in 7.5x55 and 7.62x54r. I've been reloading for 20 different handgun and rifles for 25 plus years, might as well add a couple more calibers!!

I'm going to the Indianapolis gun show tomorrow, I'll let you know what I find !!
