The Swiss example

That... looks like a Mosin Nagant, but with a modified bolt, am I right?

Swiss 7.5mm K31 rifle.

I really, REALLY..

Need to get me a K-31 one of these days....TC

Re: I really, REALLY..

I have two K31s. Extremely accurate!

Re: I really, REALLY..

I love odd guns. and the K-31 being a strait pull has always intrigued me. One has just never seemed to be in the right place, at the right time, for the right price...

Wish this was true

Sad to say I have to say that I believe the Swiss are more free when It comes to pesonal arms possision than us Americans are.
Thanks mostly to only ourselves giving up that right in the name of public safety.

класная работа!

Thanks and corrected. I forgot about the Google translation as it always double posts. Do you know of a better translation service? Goggle is terrible at times.

Outstanding!

Consider it "stolen"

Where'd the pictures go? I'm not seeing any pictures.

Just a point to make...

...the Swiss government does -NOT- trust his people with guns any longer.

Lately, the Swiss militiamen has been deprived of the "Taschenmunitions" (the 50-rds reserve ammunition issued to each "sleeping soldier"), thus leaving them to have to purchase ammunition of their own for training, or to have to reach the military facilities to equip themselves in case of a national mobilisation.

More recently, an aborted law proposal wanted to introduce a mandatory owhership for all gun owner in Switzerland of one electronic barrel lock system for each barrel (and thus each GUN) owned. The "electronic barrel lock system" was to be of the kind proposed by the German firm ARMATIX. Basically, what the Swiss government wanted was to realize a true "sleeping army", installing the electronic barrel lock on militiamen-issued SIG SG-550 assault rifles at military depot level and keeping the codes secret, thus rendering the rifles inoperable until a national emergency ebrupted (in which case, them would be unlocked in armouries). Another possibility explored was to connect all said devices to a national Wi-Fi net, giving thus the Swiss government the possibility to lock them without warning with a push of a button, de facto disarming permanently all the Swiss civilian population.

The law proposal was aborted only when the German gun magazine VISIER published an article where the device was tested and proved to be flawed, easy to be forced and removed. The manufacturer company sued the magazine on grounds of "prompting to commit crimes", and obtained the whitdrawal from newsstands of the issue where said article was published, but later, when the magazine produced in front of Court proof that what they wrote was right, the company decided to settle the issue out of court purported that the magazine would never turn again on said theme. At the same time, the company was accused of trying to push the approval of said law in Switzerland, and possibly later in Germany, by bribing politicians, and is now under investigation. They also wanted to push a similar law in the United States by submitting their device to the ATF, but the magazine VISIER reacted by contacting the bureau and providing them proof that the device is flawed.

Never, EVER underestimate anti-gun efforts anywhere in the world!
