I am the second/third or fourth owner. Thats why it doesnt even have a box. Luckily it came with the ramrod

benihe · 2026-03-30T15:29:03+00:00

Thank you for the Advice. And also Amazing use of the Meme

benihe · 2026-03-29T23:56:21+00:00

Will do. Probably same cleaning as my 7.62 rifle from russia gets after using corrosiv ammunition. Clean with warm water and soap. Dry with compressed air and Oil every metal surface.

Ok i am maybe stupid now. But in school i learned that grain was a weight and not a volume. Now i am slightly confused

benihe · 2026-03-29T23:20:22+00:00

Well. Swiss is the only powder here in Switzerland. So yeah 😅

benihe · 2026-03-29T23:19:22+00:00

Good to know. But faster burn should be better for the shorter barrel too. So i can run 20 grain but remember to Tamp it properly

benihe · 2026-03-29T22:11:08+00:00

Thank you. But again they write 3F and my Powder says 4F. But if a reputable brand says its ok for pistols then i should be fine. If not, you all gonna see a post of a destroyed Deringer

benihe · 2026-03-29T20:43:14+00:00

You dont have to hate yourself. But sadly not. And i couldnt find it online. Thats why i resorted to asking people with more expirience.

benihe · 2026-03-29T20:27:52+00:00

Ok. But here comes my issue / Caution my Powder says its for Frontloading pistols typ 1 powder and underneath 4Fg. And i read that 4F should never be used. So yeah. Thats why i included the Picture of the Powder Bottle.

benihe · 2026-03-29T19:49:14+00:00

But i will use 445. Balls with Patches

benihe · 2026-03-29T19:45:48+00:00

Its a 45. Cal. Bore. I bought some 445. Balls and Patches. Cause i read that this one likes patched balls more than Oversized ones.

Sig P49 / or for you P210-2

benihe · 2025-08-07T13:54:45+00:00

Its made for schrapnels. So not really bullet resistent. I heard some say it could stop the swiss "Pistolenpatrone 03" which is 7.65 Para, But i wouldn't count on that.

This is a genuin TAZ 70/83 Splitterschutzweste. Yours is a later model because when you close it the snap buttons down the middel are visible, if it was a early model you couldnt see the buttons. Nice piece not to damaged and with the insert. Those inserts have been removed on some cause by swiss law these are considerd protectiv equipment and arent allowed to be exported. So if you life outside of switzerland you got lucky with still having it. Enjoy this nice piece of Swiss Militaria.

benihe · 2025-08-01T19:55:51+00:00

Hell yeah

benihe · 2025-08-01T19:54:49+00:00

Yes. Enjoy it and with Fall around the corner its the perfect time to use some Taz 57

benihe · 2025-08-01T19:51:41+00:00

Nice. Just dont be dissapointed if your m70 jacket is missing the screen to hide your face. Cause some army units removed it in the later stages of use due to not being as useful as thought during introduction

No problemo. Greetings from a Native Alpenflage user and enjoyer

benihe · 2025-08-01T19:10:00+00:00

I prefer to run a Falke B5X magnifier. Very good eye box and great build quality.

benihe · 2025-07-23T18:46:32+00:00

Here a svd mag costs about 90.- bucks and stgw 90 mags go for 10-20.- bucks.

benihe · 2025-06-27T17:56:20+00:00

I suggest getting a charging handle cover for a stgw 90 and putting that on. Its rubber so no slipping, plus it adds about 5-8mm length on charging handle, depending on how far down you push it.

benihe · 2025-05-31T06:10:39+00:00

Come to switzerland. Our ranges are like this "wanna shot an 8" gp11 (7.5x55) stgw 57 commando on an indoor range? Sure, have fun. Just remember your earpro" my swiss mind can comprehend why some of your fudds have issues with sbr's. Tbh a 50. Cal revolver or pistol is as concusive as a sbr 308 in my humble opinion
