K31 Experts - Need a answer to a question

[DennisCA]

I saw on Simpson Ltd. a K31 for sale and on the description it had:

Muzzle=7.53

Is that good, bad or fair?

[1-M-42]

good. Guisan will probably weigh in on this but if I'm not mistaken, 7.57 is when they take them out of service? My K-11 was a 7.55 and looks new. My K-31s are all around 7.57, still shoot MOA though. My IG-1911s are all around 7.55 and outshoot me everyday.

7.53 is good for the k31. If iirc the k11's were 7.55 or 7.54 new so 7.53 will have plenty of life left.

Call Simpsons, they'll tell you everything you need to know.

I asked mr. Simpson to add the bore diameters to the Swiss rifles they offer for sale. The rifles on the market now are previous private ones that were no longer serviced by the army arsenals for some 50 years so the chance that you get a beautiful rifle with a shot out barrel is there. Parts can be replaced but a new barrel costs more as the rifle.
When the bore diameter is not listed you can always give them a call.

Do you know if the November shipment is still coming in of K31s?

When it all goes as planned, yes. Customs can always be a delay.
