Ubet....Thanks. I guess you know how it feels to be a newbie. We are reading, doing searchs...etc, but, it's always better to have someone show you where the targets are at :-)) I'll check out the Swissicon Rifle Forum. I got fairly lucky on my purchase of the K31. It's a nice one! Have not gone to range yet (picked it up Friday from my FFL gunsmith)....still in the touchy-feely stage. I need to read-up on lightly cleaning the rifle. Every time I handle the rifle, I feel something special from a gun that was made 71 years ago. I like vintage neat mechanical items from our PAST :-)
