Title: Wartime Swiss
Post by: Blicero on April 10, 2017, 02:08:08 AM

Here's a good looking Swiss k31 I just rescued from a pawn shop. '41 production and all matching in walnut, all thanks due to Hermann Hollinger of the Mobile Munitions Company (<-- total stab in the dark there) for taking care of this rifle in his service. I'll shoot this masterpiece of a 20th century battle rifle in his honor.

Sweet Swiss! Everyone should have one, or more. No troop tags in mine  :(  but no import marks either  :)

I think you're spot on: 4th Mobile Munitions Company of 12th Batallion

Very nice, congrats!  Had mine out for a run a few days back - a ridiculously easy rifle to shoot well. And probably the best "surplus" ammo ever made.

About 800 rds of GP11, like Luke says, never enough. I like the straight pull action with shells flying over your head at 6:00
