Waffenfabrik Bern K31
« on: January 27, 2022, 01:48:28 PM »
I’ve had some Swiss military pull rifles like everyone here in Switzerland, they are plentiful in the attics, basements, gun shops and shows. Didn’t keep them. However while roaming at the LGS before Christmas, I saw he had a whole batch that just came in.





So I chose the nicest K31 with diopter competition sights, which are allowed in military style competitions. That one is a keeper.

Wikipedia has a good page about this model

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K31

Made in 1940, $ 600, the sights cost slightly more than the rifle.























The cutouts on the foreguard are asymmetrical, left forward for the thumb and right rearward for the four fingers









Looking forward to try it out at the 300 m range

Congrats! Mine is nothing special, but is in excellent shape and is a personal favorite. So nicely made and cared for.

That is a beautiful rifle! The K31 comes up for sale here in the US now and then. I have thought about getting one, but never have gone through with it.

Was talking with someone at the pub last night and he mentioned he has a K31. Will have to show him the photos. Beautiful rifles.
