    Cool What do I have here? Identification needed...

    Gents -

    Bought a pile of motorcycle parts at an estate and executor had a stock and stock/barrel combo he threw in with the deal.

    I've shown to a few friends, but we haven't been able to nail down what it is I have.

    On the one - The barrel's bore measures .41 inches... rifled and rather clean... Serial # and makers mark, but no written name anywhere I can find... maybe military of some sort?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks guys -

    Mike

    The stock appears to be for a Swiss K31, maybe a K11.

    With a bore size of 41 my first thoughts also was a Vetterli.

    K31 was my guess as well.

    I agree the stock is for a K31 and it looks like a walnut stock, which is nice. If you take the butt plate off there may be a troop tag underneath.

    It's in decent shape too. The beavers must not have gotten to it.
