Description:
Serial #451209, 7.5mm Swiss, 25 1/2" barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a little-used rifle that has all-matching numbers, including the magazine, and retains 97-98% of the original blue finish, with some mild silvering along the edges. The bolt has its original armory bright finish remaining, with only some minor marks along the bearing surfaces. The rifle is equipped with the integral 2.8x scope with flip-up objective lens, and internal elevation adjustment out to 700 meters (controlled by the tangent scale and slider on the top of the scope) on the left side of the receiver. The scope has the typical Swiss reticle with two horizontal bars flanking a central right angle peak, and has slightly cloudy, but fully functional optics. The stock has beautiful tiger-stripe figuring along the forend and handguard, with a few small handling marks in the original varnish, with some heavier wear along the sides and toe of the buttstock. A crisp Swiss cross and shield stamp is present on the right side of the buttstock. The rifle is also outfitted with a Swiss issue leather sling, and an original metal muzzle-cover is also included. These rifles were adopted following the unsuccessful adoption of the ZFK 31/42 the year before, but still exhibited many of the same problems: the inability to adjust the scope for windage, and the poor light gathering of the scope due to the small objective lens. This is a fine-excellent example of a very rare Swiss sniper rifle, brought into the country prior to 1968, and would make a fantastic addition to any collection. FFL or C&R
