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 .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. Clamp-on sighting options for scopes and
competition sights make it easier to mount a scope on the receiver.
Many collectors of the K31 have removed the butt plate and recovered a small
tag of plasticized paper from beneath it. This slip contains the name and
address of the Swiss citizen to whom the rifle was issued. In some cases,
collectors have used the information to contact the previous owners, and
have recounted the details of those encounters on a variety of collector's
web forums. |
