Hey guys,
Just wanted to share my first gun acquisition... My mom's friend called me Friday and told me he wanted to give me a belated graduation/commissioning present before I head down to Columbus in a few weeks. He ended up giving me this Swiss Army K31 rifle. This particular gun was the fourth weapon of its type produced in 1945, and the barrel, receiver, and stock were all manufactured at the SIG factory in Switzerland. The gun is in great shape... the only defects I can find are nicks and dings in the walnut. It shoots 7.5X55 Swiss ammo. I haven't gotten the chance to shoot it yet but these rifles are known for their superb accuracy so I'll be interested to find out. Anybody else have one? Also, anybody living off base at Columbus right now interested in babysitting it while I'm in the dorms?
In unrelated news, I will be buying an XD or XD-M within the next year. M2 I know you own the XD45 and have said you wouldn't upgrade, even if the M comes out in 45. I'm looking for any additional input on whether I should wait for the M to come out in 45 or go ahead and get the original XD (which looks a hell of a lot cooler anyway, but minor detail).
Thanks for all the great information... this thread is awesome!
