K31 Swiss

Shot my K31 icon

last week and thought it wasn't too bad (first picture), when I was putting it away
noticed the action screws. Decided to check them and found they were loose. Torqued them up before I put it away. Finally got time to shoot it today. Definitely glad I bought this gun. Shot a MOA group with the iron sights. Would accept this group from a scoped deer rifle.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

My only complaint about the K31 icon

and Schmidt Rubin series of rifles is they didn't have action locking screws like on some Mausers, as I find those screws for whatever reason loosen up much easier than most of my other rifles.

FWIW: I believe most shooters get best accuracy from a K-31 by having front guard screw tight and rear guard screw just snug. Over tightening the rear screw may cause the barrel to lift, upsetting bearing with stock and hand-guard (near muzzle).

do we know if this is the entire "modern" swiss series (those accepting gp11) or just the k31??
