I often times think that the history of the rifle is one of the best parts. I spend far more time reading and researching about my rifles than handling/looking at/shooting them.

Even deciphering the markings on them is fun!

Looks like a great find too!

!Update! K31s are not the only Swiss rifles that have sight correctors. Here is a REGULA on my 96/11. It goes under the rear sight where turning it will raise or lower the sight. You can see that it is marked for the G11 (a rifle with the same specs this one was upgraded to). http://i13.photobucket....

Ouch ouch!

That's no fun at all. Take care, you two!

I love this kid of info because people like me that don't know a lot about photography don't know the best perimeters to compare cameras by or what's most important.

-ArchFluffy

Those are such strange looking rifles with the bolt handle like that. It sure is working well though.

It is fun getting a new rifle and then tracking down all the things to go with it. Us guys accessorize too.

-ArchFluffy

This makes me want to go to a gun show now too!

Not that I want to sell anything...

Really though, I think it's great that you pulled the trigger on this and gave it a shot. Looking forward to the final report!

-ArchFluffy

You did just fine. It sure looks like a nice show too. Good lighting, pathways wide enough to walk down. Nice. You really did move those rifles! I wonder what the crowd on Sunday will be like. I always try to go Saturday and find all the good stuff. You might surprise some fellow sellers with even m...

I can't wait, Niner!

What if he just trades his rifles for other ones and so no net change

-ArchFluffy

This is going to be awesome!



-ArchFluffy

I think that they are pretty cool. A Furter, Grunel, and Girex are on my K31s but here are some that are not mounted. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a292/ArchFluffy/015_zpsjhqmlja3.jpg You can recognize the Sahli and TipTop from the list. I don't know the names of the other two. The one at bottom...

I bet you'll find some people like me are just happy to see milsurps at a gun show. I'm seeing more and more knives, t-shirts , and beef jerky. And I like jerky. Hey, wait. What about one or two of your old cameras? That might work petty well actually ;) It's going to be an adventure and a learning ...

Looks like you are pretty ready.

Nice rifle AND bayonets? That's a great combo!

I hope that you are excited because I sure am.

-ArchFluffy

I can't think of one from era of the K31 and before. They used diopters on their later stg57 and stg90.

I look with envie at other peoples milsurps that have adjustable sights (ring and otherwise) while at the range. How wonderful it must be!

-ArchFluffy

No, not glasses, silly! Hey, the Swiss love their riles and had lots of sight corrector stuff and things. ahhh! This is my thrird time truing to get this thing posted and i'm tired of it! *Deep Breath* Okay, I can do this! The Swiss are pretty obsessed with marksmanship and so it shouldn't be a surp...

Ha! Serves 'em right!

You really know how to pick them, Duncan!

-ArchFluffy

You gave mags for days!

Yes, I love magazine loaders too. I swear I shoot better when my fingers aren't throbbing.

-ArchFluffy

That looks like a fantastic place!

I'm jealous.

It looks like such a nice, clean, happy place. Some indoor ranges here look like they are falling apart. How loud was the .308 in there even with the hearing protection?

I love your vid too!

-ArchFluffy

Now for testing!

-ArchFluffy

Oh!

The answers are already up! How great!

-ArchFluffy

I'm sorry!

I forgot that i had a good idea.

I think 8 and H must go together.

I love it!

If it works it works! I applaud your determination

Beauty!

-ArchFluffy

This is great!

Real hand made hand tool

I admire your determination too.

-Fluffy

Wow!

I saw things about this on a couple of places. The different sites seem to come down to reloader's error.

So we learn from other peoples' mistakes so we don't have to learn from our own.

-ArchFluffy

You would really freak them out if you charged the target with the bayo fixed

Great groups with your reloads!

-ArchFluffy

Those sure look nice, PeterN!



-ArchFluffy

Shiny!

I predict some range time in your future

-ArchFluffy

It looks so cool !

That's a great find!



-ArchFluffy

So pretty!

Great find!



-ArchFluffy

Niner,

I'm sorry that Gunbroker turned into such a pain. Things have changed a lot since I used it for selling.



-ArchFluffy

Nice one Niner Delta. Some of these old rifles are so nice compared to things I see brand new in firearm stores. And the short rifles and carbines look really handy. Also the ones converted over to easy to find calibers can make getting ammo easy. I've been looking for a Colombian Mauser but I sort ...
