    Classic has Swiss rifles back in stock *Now with pics*

    Finally got them back in stock after listing them almost a year ago and I just ordered a M1911 hand select to go along with my K31. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't honor the original price I ordered it at last year ($259ish vs $300) but Classic has never been good with regards to customer service in the past couple of years I've been dealing with them so whatever. Pics to come when it arrives.

    I got an origanal back when. OK - but barrel lands were a bit rounded and some rust remained after someone brushed of the rest with a wire brush -- or so it appeared. Shoots fine so I guess it was OK for the price, but I was not generally impressed.

      I'd buy one if that Swiss 7.5x55 wasn't so darn expensive.

        she came in today, hand select option and very happy with it. even had the sling, definitely need to pick one up for my K31 now. Bolt needs some cleaning but it's still very smooth, small nick on the left side pistol grip but no biggie. Going off the serial number it's a 1916 build. P31 means private citizen owned and re-arsenaled in 1931 right?

              that is nice tiger stripe on the stock, it'll clean up nicely.

                  Yeah everything is matching except for the buttplate which had no number except for the drawn one seen in the pics. Don't know if they were numbered to begin with though. No troop tag. Guess it was worth the year wait though all in all haha.

                  Work is going to keep me from going Saturday but I'd like to catch one of the Swiss matches soon for sure.

                    Nice photos. Not much of a photographer myself, but did you use AE bracketing?

                      Very nice. I actually got goose-bumps.
