Bought all 4 Swiss rifles, great condition for their age. The only problem was a broken firing pin on the K11. still looking for a replacement, another good from Classic Firearms.

Great product. Contacted the original owner after searching for the little label at the end of the rifle

Collector's dream !!
Review by J. on 11/20/12

Recently made my K31 purchase from CF. I cannot be more happy with this decision. Military enthusiasts and collectors, like myself, should not be without this rifle. Because of the Swiss policy of neutrality, this weapon is not as well known as others like the Springfield '03, the Mosin Nagant 91/30, and the Mauser 98. But, those "in the know", so to speak, are well aware of the unprecedented rugged reliabilty and unrivaled accuracy of this rifle and the GP11 ammunition that it uses.The Swiss are also uber attentive to maintenance. The likelyhood of receiving a rifle that is not in at least good-very good condition is minimal. Like wise with non-matching numbers. It can happen, but less likely than not. At my home range, I was able to print groups less than 1 inch at 50 yards straight out of the box. Not too bad for very poor 40 something year old eyesight. CF offers the best deal I was able to find, and ammo to boot. Heart felt thanks to CF and their staff for for their polite and prompt service with my telephone order.

Received a nice replacement K31 for the mismatched gun. The rifle is all matching, troop tag present, and has a nice walnut stock. Bluing is exc, and the bore shines........very happy with the K31 and all of the help provided by Rick and his crew at Classic Firearms!!!

Nice Condition BUT Mismatched K31
Review by James on 10/18/12

Quality

Received a second K31 from Classic, gun has a nice walnut stock, bright bore and has a troop tag. Only problem is a stamped mismatched bolt , I didn't specify matching serial numbers, thinking these guns were always matching, but I found out otherwise. After having bought several guns from Classic this is the first time I'm not satisfied with my purchase.

One very happy owner!!

This was the first rifle I purchased through Classic, and did it ever turn out to be a super buy. I ordered the hand select with troop tag and I hit the jackpot on both. The rifle is in superb condition, with both stock and barrel being in fantastic shape. I pulled the butt plate off to find a near mint troop tag in there, so now I will hopefully be able to find the original user of this fine rifle. After getting this rifle it has quickly become the centerpiece of my collection. Thanks Classic, you guys rock!!!

Amazing
Review by Andreas6.5AR on 10/2/12

Quality

Took it home and am ever more awed by the craftsmanship and the quality of the rifle. This was one of 350 made and sold to private owners in 1943. The stock is near perfect with minimal dings and the Swiss emblem clear as new in the wood.(hand select), but it has definitely been used quite a bit (perhaps a club gun). This is evidenced by wear on the bottom of the magazine and lightening of the bluing on the receiver top. Tore it right down and cleaned it up. The barrel bore is mirror bright, with signs of wear (rounded rifling but difference between lands and grooves still substantial) , I am sure it has had considerable rounds through it but I think it is still in good shape. After cleaning I went straight to the range and with my 54 year old eyes resting on a shooters mat rolled up and fidgeting and changing my grip with every shot still managed about a 4.5 inch 10 shot group at 100 yards. If I had a scope and bi-pod I am sure I could improve a lot on that too. I haven't shot open sight since I was a teenager. The group I shot went from "X" lower center and up and right centered about 1.5 inches high and 1 inch to the right. The trigger is so sweet, breaking nice and clean without any gritty feel to it at all.

I wish I had the funds to get another 2 or 3. If the others are like this one, they are really worth it. Wished I had seen that the bayonets are also available when I had ordered the rifle.

Friendly, fast, competent service at the order desk... and sweet... thank you.

Kindest Regards, and God Bless,

Andreas

Perfect Example of Fine Rifle
Review by Georgia Bulldog on 9/23/12

This rifle arrived to my FFL as scheduled, and was in impeccable condition. Nice bore, near-perfect bolt and good stock. You have to get this gun.

Unique and superbly well made.
Review by Mashman on 8/24/12

Quality

The K31 is a collectors dream. The Rifles action is a unique straight pull back bolt"...that is exceedingly well machined and smooth. The appearance puts some collectors off who are looking for more traditional designs but the K31 is safe, extremely accurate, fires a powerful 7.55 shell and is one of the most accurate military rifled ever made,

Best bolt action of its time
Review by USMCSurvivalist85 on 8/17/12

Quality

This is the most accurate and best bolt action of the mid 20th century. The ammo they shot was non-corrosive so metal wear is minimal to none. gp11 ammo is super accurate and still used in swiss shooting matches as the round of choice. It can be had for 45 -50 cents per round which is cheap for a large caliber bullet these days seeing as .308 etc seem to be .74 to $1 a round.recently

Outstanding weapon, Accurate & Hard hitting.
Review by Ron on 7/16/12

Quality

I lucked into a great deal on a K-31 that was, I believe, for a Colour Guard. It has a very clean and undamaged Beechwood stock and is dressed in Chrome. The Pioneer Bayonet is also chrome dressed with a Left handed Frog. This makes me think it was for a member of the Colour Guard stationed to the Left of centre. It is spot on accurate and HARD hitting with the GP-11 Ammo as well as Civilian hunting ammo. It requires a steady firm hold as it has quite a kick. Immediatly became a favourite in my collection. GP-11 getting scarce, I plan to add more bricks as it becomes available.
