Just in case anyone wants some new desktop wallpaper, here are some great high-res shots of Swiss Arms rifles, courtesy of Swiss Arms. If you can’t see the images, try clicking on the linked text.
SAN 511, .50 BMG precision rifle
A slightly different SAN 511.
Perhaps this is the “entry carbine” SAN 511? I am joking, of course… For more technical data about the 511, check out the Guns, Holsters, and Gear posts by Richard.
751 SAPR Long Barrel.
751 SAPR Short Barrel. I would like to see this fired at night…
553-CH. I like this one. A lot. The lower receiver is milled aluminum and it has a 4-position adjustable gas regulator. Also, the mainspring, or action spring, is in the standard 550/551 location as opposed to the rear 552 position, which complicated disassembly.
553-US. There’s a video about this one over on The Firearm Blog that I did while at IWA. In addition to the 553-CH changes, it takes STANAG/M16 magazines. I like the idea of magazine commonality, but I like the idea of using the magazine that the weapon was designed for even more. So although they’re both “forbidden fruit” here in the USA, I’d rather have the 553-CH. Oh, and I’ll take a 751 also…I won’t be picky about which model.
Swiss hi-res pictures aren’t screening for me.
Images should be fixed.
Interesting safety switches on those .50s
Any idea what those are for?
My guess would be that they are safe with bolt locked, safe with bolt unlocked, and fire.
