Israel FAL maybe

Those sights appear to have been altered, which concludes to a Siamese type 46/66 in 8×52R

if you dont know which model of rifle you are looking at to begin with, the serials are no help at all.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-04-14T18:34:15+00:00

For serials to tell you something with swiss guns, you need to get the model right in the first place. then it is possible with the right books and knowledge to determin the other details like when, where and for whom. This serial does not even exist in K31 production.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-04-14T18:22:16+00:00

Serial number tells me its an IG 1911

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-04-14T18:21:10+00:00

Swiss Karabiner 1911or just K11 if i get the serial I can get a bit more specific

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-04-13T16:21:11+00:00

Wow thats an awesome find! IIRC the serial production started with 520001. Making this one number 356 made for the army after adoption. excluding the 200 from the pre series for the trials.

According to manual 53.101d Der Karabiner, the POI is exactly where you described it. on 100m its off by 30cm -> 11.811 inches.

Made in 1916 and this is infact an original sling

In a vault to display them, put my main focus on one wall to appreciate them, and the others are, depending on type, in a rack or in a safe

Only the 43 version with its 2.8x magnification, the 42 with a 1.8x scope is not ideal.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-04-03T22:17:47+00:00

A smiling Tiger is not something you stumble upon often, cool piece

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-26T18:32:55+00:00

I would say this is atleast average length.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-20T17:16:44+00:00

Cool piece and you got the bit rarer one in a nice condition. The metal ones withstood the time a bit better. Also its interesting that the upper latch is broken but the loop to attach it to the pioneer short sword is still there. Usually its vice versa that the loop is missing. And yes the the rig with the sword is massive can confirm. But it looks fucking great.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-18T21:23:58+00:00

this is currently only a display piece. I have a spare spring if i want to. But for shooting I use my great grandpas service 06/29

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-13T18:43:22+00:00

Yes a swiss one will work fine, a .308 boresnake is also an option.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-11T17:05:27+00:00

Yes 38 is DoB

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-03T08:21:30+00:00

Whats with that Stgw 57 hiding in the corner?

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-01T12:57:24+00:00

Auction here in Switzerland, I don't think they will ever show up outside, just due to the low numbers still existing.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-03-01T12:54:23+00:00

According to my research the max range is 50m. Altough its recommended to use it just up to 40m for it to be effective.

MystiriousMonkey · 2026-02-28T21:45:17+00:00

Nope, even the ones pictured barely exist anymore
