Hi everyone
i am new to this board and collecting military weapons and have a lot to learn. My first desire is to own a K31 Swissicon. Generally speaking.....are the newer models "birch stocks" better functioning then the older walnut guns....or are they all the same mechanically?
I am looking for a shooter not a wall hanger. Below one company made the following comment about the 1944 guns:
During the manufacturing year 1944 changes in the steel used for the bolts operating rods on K-31 rifles were made. These changes were found unsatisfactory due to possible fracturing of the rods lug. Most were changed out in service or during rebuilding. Were their any other bad years? If I bought a 1930 rifle in good condition.....would it be as good or better shooter than say one made in the late 50's?
Lastly I am seeing some guns with the bores filled with grease......is this a bad thing?
Any comments thoughts would be appreciated
Take Care
Mike
