Anyone know if you can still get ammo through the Swiss club?

Can you yodel if so you are in, they will take you in a flash

I reload for mine. Have a quantity of GP11 but have never fired it. S&B are supposedly introducing factory ammo some time in the future.

One K31 has a 4 power scope and I am getting consistent <1 MOA 5 shot groups with it with my handloads.
Quite fun at the range when I walk fwd to check targets and the adjacent shooter tries to not make out he is studying my target against his.

My other K31 has genuine Swiss aperture sights. I have seen the same sights regularly sell on Ebay for around US500. There appears to be some canny Swiss who seem to be trickle feeding them into Ebay. The barrel is a factory fitted Hammerli rather than the original military. I shoot cast bullets out of it with accuracy around 1.5 to 2 MOA at 100 yds. The projectiles are made by H&N (famous for their air rifle match pellets). They are quite weird – no lube grooves and are electro Cu plated with a clear very hard coating applied over the Cu.

@sako75 have a look at the Swiss Club website in the rifle section. There are contacts there. They also have an open day (days?) later in the year for non members but you need to book well ahead.
