Swiss match K31

[Calfed]

've developed a serious love for the Swiss long rifles and K31's that have the Swiss match stickers. Tonight I grabbed a few items at an on-line auction, including two 96/11's and a K31 with match stickers and some kind of front target sight.






Blueing on the receiver looks matte.


Description advised:
Swiss Schmidt-Rubin Karabiner Model 1931 (K31) Straight-Pull Rifle, #848135, 7.5x55mm Swiss, 25.7'' barrel, matte blue finish, European walnut stock, with sling. Import marked, with shooter's name and 1972 shooter stickers. Globe front sight included. Condition is fine to near excellent retaining approx. 95% matte blue on receiver. Stock shows minor dings, scratches, thinning to finish, and light oil staining. Action is crisp, bore is mirror bright.

Anyone know anything about matte finishes on K31's and what kind of front sight that is?

I'll post a range report and additional pics when it arrives
