Working on a long range K-31 Swiss

[Wineman]

There are plenty of K31's with muzzle brakes at the local Military Silhouette shoot in Sacramento CA. Mine does not have one and it is not much fun shooting next to the people that use them. After 10 shots if you don't have a flinch you will. I try to get my firing point as far back as I can and not present a danger to others. I also wear plugs and muffs. I much prefer to be next to the M91/30 Mosins as the long barrel and no brake is not as noticeable.

I bought that K, $175, could not say no at that price. The threads for the brake are galled but well clean up fine. It's a 43 with a nice walnut stock, nice sling, muzzle cap and 30rds of GP11. I'm doing the happy dance.

It's almost finished, scope, brake are mounted, working on the recoil pad adapter from SP.

Your not leaving that recoil pad on there are you? that would certainly discolor the wood over time. Also be careful when removing it as it may wear down the finish near the butplate if it overly tight. Otherwise congrats on a nice looking gun!!! Let us know how she shoots.

First of all.......A clarification from our Distributor in the Netherlands

It shows that it hardly touches the receiver so no worries for any bluing damage.

As for where to get it........ Swiss Products
Scroll to the bottom for our US Distributors.

Note that there is a Buttpad Adaptor shown on our website. It allows you to install a Pachmayer or similar without altering the buttstock at all.

This is a link to the discussions about off-set mounts. Remember the M1-D Garand? No difference.

Well, this is what I did: ($245 shipped scope rig)

Scope: Burris 2-7X35mm Fullfield II
Mount: Swiss products clamp on
Rings: Burris Signature Rimfire/11mm med height






Irons still have 400m and it is pretty cool being able to "slide" over and have a nice magnified optic sight picture!
