#3 Just a couple of pieces of Swiss K-31 rifle trivia.

If you remove the two screws holding the butt plate, do not be surprised to find a small piece of paper come floating out. It will be about 1 inch x 2.75 inches in size and will contain a name of a soldier and his home of records (Swiss city or village). This would have been the last soldier to have carried the rifle. The K-31 was used for many, many years. Some owners have successfully made contact previous Swiss owners.

The K-31 is one of the few military rifles which has an adjustable front site. The Finish M-39 is another.
