The 'Tactical' K31


Laurie

Recommended Posts

How to enhance your Schmidt K31 for the 21st Century, or  .... or ruin it depending on how you view this sort of things?

(Note price - 1,850 Swiss francs = around £1,400. So you could buy three or four K31s or a whole collection of vintage Schmidts for that money, but not a genuine K55 Swiss sniper model I imagine.)

I blame CNC..........!

To be honest - just about every rifle manufacturer was showing a CNC'd ally stock with a tubular hand-guard at IWA.

You'll look naked without one Laurie.

 

Hmmmm ... I could persuade Craig at Evo Leisure to make me a couple for my old 7X57 Mauser service rifles, 29 inch barrels and all, ........... but with tubular slotted hand-guards they'd look like MG34s and frighten the natives. 

..... or maybe I could come to love a chassis stocked 303 SMLE. (In this form, the  ultimate 'battle rifle'?) 

Nah, on long and mature reflection of maybe 10 seconds, they're not me Vince. Dolphin F-Class stocks are as much as I like in the way of alloy superstructure.

Strongly agree with that statement Vince, second rifle down in the pic is a trg22 - same barrel, action, mag, trigger. Now gets a heavy assed cnc  stock.

Thing is I was at a very sandy and wet range for two days last week , there were two Tikka Tacs and a Tikka varmint in a krg stock. The two Tikka tac’s both had mag feeding issues and the varmint ignition issues - all due to wet sand getting everywhere. The AIAXMC never missed a beat. Moral - cool stocks are nice eye candy.

That´s kinda over the top for the K31... but I myself intend to buy a Sureshot Armament Group chassis for one of my straightpulls to use in conjunction with diopters. The SAG chassis is more shooter ergonomics oriented, not so much a gadget.
