I have a k11 Swiss rifle. The barrel is 30.7 inch's and has a leather bolt. It says P62 on the chamber above the serial number, and bellow the serial number it says 31. On the barrel there is a letter B. Which ammunition does it take, 7.5x55 or 7.5x53.5? For pictures email: dante.magazzeni98@gmail.com

K11s are only 23.3 inches in barrel length.
You have either a:
a) 1889: serial # range 1-212000, GP90 7.5x53.5
Do not uses GP11 in the 1889.
b) 89-96: serial # range 212001-349000
99.99999% converted from GP90 to GP11(7.5x55) and renamed 96/11 model.
c) 1911: serial # range 355001-482000 Made for GP11(7.5x55) from the start.
This page is helpful to see the different details in sight, mags and mag placement for easy identification.

No, you have a M1911 long rifle with the proper original length 30.7 inch barrel.
A K11 have the exact same action, but a shorter 23.3 inch barrel AND different sights.
K11 serial # range is 30001-215100.
Both are made to shoot GP11(7.5x55). Have fun.
