nice rifle OP

Nice roller bag, where can I get one?

Is it true swiss gun owners don't get to keep ammo at home and you can only get ammo at the range?
>>
>>64556925
No. The government subsidises them some ammo to practice with but that ammo has to be used at the range. If they buy ammo with their own money obviously they can store it at home.

>not a 551
You tried.

This style of rifle is canonically Strelok's favorite rifle as per a supply cache message in Call of Pripyat.

I just thought you'd like to know.

Siggers are the worst.

Sorry, but SIG made by mountain krauts is not the same animal as your nuSIG assembled by low-wage laborers in 'Murica from indian parts.

How come the carbine versions did so well in foreign sales, but the full length 550 was never adopted as a standard issue rifle for any country other than Switzerland?
>>
>>64557722
Probably because the Sig 550 is a mid-20th century boat anchor and literally just an AK47 in 5.56. I went to Switzerland and shot one at a rifle range and it was like driving a reupholstered Lada. It's just an AK with dated plastic furniture and a translucent magazine which looked 'futuristic' 35 years ago.

The only countries who adopted the 553 were European police forces and brown shitskin special forces units. The Euros did so because the only other European alternative in 1990 was the HK33, and a few years later when the G36 came out all those same Euro cops bought G36Cs.
>>
>>64557718
I know well. (Don't own any nuSIG or care)

>>64557738
Wrong. Everything uploaded = Wrong.
>>
>>64557722
There were also alot of competitors to it, and the countries most likely to buy Swiss arms either bought the 540 series or other small arms that came sooner
Anyone who was shopping for the 550 settled on the 551 as it is still rifle grenade or UBGL/M203 compatible.

The 540/543 sold more full sized rifles lol

>>64557738
So was the FNC - but that gun wasn't autistic and was reasonably priced
>>
>>64557722
Too powerful.

Only by license (non-Swiss) production.

>>64557785
FNC is 20 years older than the 550 and yeah it was adopted by Sweden and Indonesia and some other places.
>>
>>64557704
That's not an american SIG brand SIG though, but a real one.
