just got me another k31 and was wondering how do you test the trigger if it is safe to shoot..... the last one i got have a very light trigger pull and was not sure how to test if the trigger needs adjusting or just leave it alone.... any help is greatly appreciated....

I don't know of any adjustment on a K31 trigger.  You'd be better off asking at a Swiss site.

You don't want to go messing with a K31 trigger. They are all light, by the way, and probably the best triggers you will find on a military rifle.

No adjustments, just very light triggers for a MilSurp rifle.

The triggers are light as others have said, but if you're worried it will fire if bumped, then cock the rifle, (unloaded of course) and bump the butt against the floor (padded)
and see if you can get it to dry fire.

The trigger pull is light for a military rifle, if you remove the stock you will find that they have plenty of sear engagement. You will also notice the famous Swiss engineering. Get some ammo, GP11 if you can find it , the accuracy will amaze you.

The pull may seem light because it's a 2-stage trigger. I have one though that fires at the end of the first stage travel. Needs a new sear block or whatever it's called.

Edit: The cocking piece has the sear block on it. It is rounded and allows the hammer to drop when the first stage is at the end of it's travel. That be the part I need.

You could almost breathe on my K31 trigger to fire once it's past the first stage, but it won't go boom any other way (dropping, bumping, etc). I think you'll be fine if you just give it a drop test.
