Frequently Asked Questions

How do you properly load a K31 rifle with stripper clips?

To load a K31 with stripper clips, lock the bolt to the rear, insert the clip into the receiver's thumb groove for leverage, and push down firmly to load the rounds. The empty clip will then fall out.

What are key considerations for scope mounting on a K31 rifle?

For accurate scope mounting on a K31, use sturdy steel rings, lap them for proper alignment, and consider the scope's offset from the receiver. The St. Marie mount is an option that doesn't alter the rifle.

What are common reloading components for the 7.5 Swiss caliber?

Reloading for the 7.5 Swiss is feasible with readily available Lee Factory Crimp dies and 2-die sets. Brass can be formed from .284 Winchester, and .308 projectiles like 150-grain and 165-grain Game Kings are suitable.

What is a critical safety check for the K31 bolt operation?

Ensure the K31 bolt is slammed shut with a firm whack to be fully in battery. The serial number on the bolt shroud rotating to the top is a visual indicator that the bolt is properly seated and safe to fire.
