I visited some Swiss firearms stores while in country for Waffen Sammlerborse 2025. The Swiss have access to way more cool stuff than we do in the States. There are no dumb import restrictions based on the scary features of a firearm or on any particular countries, it’s just wide open so they have a lot of great stuff available. They also have access to full-autos with the right license, so the range of options is beyond anything we are used to back in the US.
I paid a visit to Aebi Waffen, which is an extraordinary company with a world-class selection of firearms. Their team is friendly and knowledgeable and they have exceptionally skilled gunsmiths on staff.
Here is what I believe is a customized Sig Sturmgewehr 57 in 7.5 x 55. This is the second customized Sturmgewehr 57 that I’ve seen but I really like this one the best. A lot of time when Bubba or anyone else tries to upgrade an old military rifle it doesn’t work, but this is pretty sweet. Also the gunsmiths in Switzerland are pros so they know how to do stuff like this.
One of the most common military rifles that you see at Swiss gun shops are the old military Sturmgewehr 57s. I saw stacks of these at several gun shops in great condition with prices as low as $450 US. I assume they are so common and inexpensive that the Swiss like to use them as the basis for custom work.
More cool stuff coming, stay tuned! You can’t believe how great Switzerland is.
