K31 Sniper Chassis system from Wyssen Defence Switzerland

    The Karabiner Model 1931 (K31) was the standard issue rifle of the Swiss armed forces between 1933 and 1958. Technically it’s a is a 6 round magazine, straight-pull bolt action rifle in 7,5×55 mm Swiss, which has similar ballistics to a .308 Winchester.

    If you have such a rifle laying around (I’m sure there are a few in Switzerland!) and want to give it some new life Wyssen Defence from Switzerland has what they call a Sniper Chassis system.

    Please find the description below, auto-translated from German.

    The price for the chassis is CHF 1,850, roughly 2,000 USD if it was available in the US.

    If you can settle for black instead of FDE it’s a little bit cheaper.

    You can find a direct link the home page and chassis here.

    Probably quite a bit more than the K31 rifle, but this isn’t the first chassis to cost more (a lot more!) than the donor rifle. It seems K31s can be found from 300-400 USD, perhaps cheaper.
