After about 12 months of procrastination and a lot of encouragement from a good friend of mine I finally drop some coin last week on this beautiful numbers matching Swiss Miss. Big Brown dropped it off today and I am quite pleased with it.
Looks like a lot more Ramen Noodles for lunch for a while :lol:

I absolutely love the concept of these rifles.
K31s eject the brass straight up which is where we want to put the scope. Solution is to turn the action 15 degrees so now it shoots the brass sideways instead of straight up.
Ever seen one of these?

THE holy grail.
I am having to remind myself not to covet my neighbors firearm.
Eating Ramen and dreaming.
Ramen?? Do the Swiss make Ramen?
:lol:

No the Swiss make lovely rifles that can drive a man to eat that poison in order to save the cash to own one though.Quote:

By the way, MT............
There is a little known secret about how to squeeze that last little bit of accuracy out of a zfk55.
If you know how to remove the flash suppressor, take it to a machinist and have him open the tip of the suppressor by 20/1000ths. The result is amazing.
Nice rifle....... goo shooting.

Am I safe in the assumption you are the Swiss Products Pierre? If so have you ceased production as I notice the website is out of order?
Yup. That's me. The bookkeeper forgot to renew the domain name, but it should be back up by tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime.............
We own the first domain name as well. If you enter Swiss Products | swissproductsusa | Kalispell Montana (without the "a' on the end) it gets you in.
Very frustrating.

Did not take a great deal of deductive reasoning on my part. Familier with your products and glad to know they are still available.Quote:

walter, when you come down, I have some ammo you can shoot for the next match.

Congratulations. On one day I bought 3 Swiss rifles. Two of them are the Holy Grail guns of Swiss collecting. I had no idea really what I was buying. How's that for luck?
What are guys paying for these these days? You would kill me to know what I paid for them.
It was a surreal day as I found my Father dead shortly after the purchase.
"These days" are well past "my days". I don't have any k11's or k31's that didn't come directly from Switzerland. No dealers in the middle. Last group was some time ago for $169 each.
First one was a G11 long rifle in 1959 for $12.50 from a hardware store for the rifle and one box of ammo. Truly a lifetime ago now.
*sigh*

That muzzle gizmo on the ZfK-55 is a beauty.
I only got to fire a few rounds out of one a few years ago, and it was an enlightening experience..
Still loud but a weird "diffused" loud. Definitely soaks up recoil and flash.
That bipod does not quite look right.
When a collection of Swiss goodies came up for sale, I could only afford a very nice K-11, the 55 was just too much for the piggy-bank to handle.
I suspect the designers had taken a close look at the "muzzle device" on the German FG-42.
Got our domain name back this morning. Took those suckers long enough. A solid week with no orders, and the bad part is all of our customers in EU were thinking we were gone or quit manufacturing.
Na ja......... "Diogenes sass in Seinem Fass", usw...........
