All Numbers Matching. Bayonet does not match. Discover the exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance of the Waffenfabrik Bern K31, a bolt-action rifle that stands as a testament to Swiss precision and engineering. Manufactured in 1955, this K31 is chambered in 7.5x55mm Swiss and represents the pinnacle of military firearms from its era. Collectors and enthusiasts alike will appreciate its unique straight-pull bolt-action mechanism, a hallmark of Swiss innovation, and its reputation for exceptional accuracy. This rifle is in very good condition, with light, superficial signs of handling that add character to its storied past. The bore is in excellent condition, boasting a clean, mirror-like finish with sharp rifling, ensuring optimal performance. This K31's walnut stock, while showing the characteristic dents and dings of a service rifle, speaks to its rich history and steadfast reliability. The blued finish remains intact, and it includes a 6-round magazine, allowing for a total capacity of 6+1 rounds. The rifle features a 25.5-inch barrel equipped with a bayonet lug, further enhancing its appeal to collectors and historians. Adopted as the standard-issue rifle of the Swiss armed forces from 1933 until 1958, with continued use into the 1970s, the K31 was designed under Colonel Adolf Furrer, replacing the Schmidt-Rubin Model 1911 and K11. Its innovative bolt system was a departure from earlier Swiss rifles, offering a smoother and faster operation that shooters admire to this day. The K31's fixed open front sight and adjustable tangent rear sight allow for precise aiming, making it a favorite among marksmen. Owning a K31 is not just about possessing a firearm; it's about holding a piece of history renowned for its craftsmanship and performance. Whether you're a collector of military rifles or an enthusiast of fine engineering, this K31 is a perfect addition to your collection. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this iconic piece of Swiss military heritage.
