The Swiss at some point realized that its support troops, cavalry, and certain other units required a shorter rifle then what was currently available and so designed the Model 1911 Carbine. The Swiss 1911 Carbine being smaller, lighter and still lethally accurate, became a favorite of the Swiss Army and its popularity contributed to the design of its successor, the K31. They are also the last variation with the flatter mag plate which bench shooters tend to prefer, as well as the grooved Schmidt Rubin design bolt, and bakelite charging handle. 7.5x55 caliber, Straight Pull.
The Swiss are renowned for their quality workmanship and attention to detail, and the Swiss soldiers typically took very good care to keep their rifles functional and serviceable. However, they used their rifles and carried them in traini ng in very harsh weather conditions. As such it is very typical for the external surfaces of Swiss surplus rifles to be well used and you can expect these rifles to have a lot of dents and dings or very minor cracks in the stock. You can also expect there to be a decent amount of bluing wear, with Fair showing more wear than Good condition rifles. The Swiss never used corrosive ammo and all of the bores we have seen have been exceptional. These rifles combined with the round they fire are well known for being match accurate.
Solid and functional rifles, these rifles are available in various grades from NRA Fair to Good Surplus with Minor Stock Cracks Condition. See custom options below.
Rifles that are noted as Incomplete are missing a small, non-vital component, such as a sling swivel. The rifles will still be functional, and in compliance with the overall grade offered. Rifles marked as Cracked have a non-function inhibiting crack in the stock, and are still shootable.
