 I thought that's what it was, but didn't want to hog the spotlight after my stupid joke earlier!
  I have a K-31 and a long interest in Swiss rifles.
 An interesting distinction of the Vetterli rifle is that the cartridge overall length is critical to the reliable feeding from the tubular magazine. This is because each cartridge acts as a stop for the one behind it, as it sets on the carrier/follower.
 Cool rifles.

3.  32-20  I really don't know.
