    Question: Swiss Rifle w/matching bayo - Common?

    Last year I bought a K-11 that was all matching w/matching bayo.
    I assume that matching gun parts (bolt/mag/ect) are fairly common.
    How about a matching bayo - common or uncommon?
    I was looking on Simpson Ltd (where I bought my K11) and didn't see any Swiss rifles that had matching bayo's.
    (unless I missed some - which I may have).

    Simpsons had probably 20-25 or more over the past year. They are not "rare" per se, but certainly not "common". I had my eye on a K31 with a matching Pioneer bayo but someone beat me to it....

      matching pioneer would be fantastic. K31s used to be more common with matching bayous than without when I got mine about 4 years ago. Wish I'd have been able to keep that one.

        A bayonet without a serial can be made matching, it's the way the Swiss arsenals did it.
        Fight to your last cartridge, then fight with your bayonets.
        No surrender. Fight to the death.
