Swiss K11/31 Rifles

[CSACANNONEER]

The Israeli defence used some 200 of these in anger in the late 40's and these did perform well.
Examples can be found in the Israeli national museum or on our website.

Many people rank the K11 as the least accurate of the Swiss rifles that can safely shoot modern 7.5 Swiss ammunition (G1911, K11 and K31). In addition to having the shortest barrel length and sight radius, the K11 has the lightest barrel profile.

IMO, for accuracy, try the G1911, which is the long rifle version of the K11 or the K31.

youre missing the best part about the swiss rifles, the bayonets.

specifically, the 1914 pioneer bayonets



i also just picked this up (and will be selling it shortly), the incredibly rare and 'spensive 1889/1892 bayonet:

Every Calgunner I have ever read a post from that owns a K31 has nothing but unabated love for the gun. You guys have convinced me, I want one. Just have to wait until early next year to see how the job situation pans out.

The thing you forget with inexpensive C&R guns like this are that not only are you paying at least $300.00 to $400.00 for a decent one, you are probably going to want at least 500 rounds of ammo so you have a reloading base of clean brass to work with. Adding another caliber to my arsenal is not appealing but the unique beauty and accuracy of the K31 is overriding that concern for me.

I have a Garand, a 91/30 and I want to add an M38 or M44 and a K31. That will be a nice little C&R collection with some variety.

I am not overly enamored with mine. It is a good gun. Very well made. But not spectacular. They are well made, but also heavier than many other rifles from that time period. I picked one up because I collect rifles. Not because it was a must have. And no, I am not selling it.

Btw guisan is the go to guy for info on these rifles on many other boards.

I wonder how much ammo the Israelis had for these rifles.

Pretty clear they have lost any right to be called a secret weapon anymore. Bob, you are a wonderfully helpful --------blabbermouth!

If you have a C&r you can get a nice "special select" for 289 and a case of ammo for 250ish
