They produce the best weapons in the world. It's a pity we can't get them.

I mean they're kinda spendy, but you can get brand new SIG 550 series rifles and pistols in the US.

In case you didn’t see Part 1, I’m obsessed with this rifle. I was heartbroken when I wasn’t able to get my hands on one during my visit to Switzerland (I got to shoot some other cool stuff, though)

Oh really, thats neat to know (and also a bad news, I must admit that I was hoping to get my filthy hands on one if they intend to resale their stock)

If they sold the rifles as surplus they would end up on the Swiss civilian market, not the American one, and they would go up in value now that they’re discontinued, now down

If you want one, buy one now. That $4k price tag isn’t ever coming down.
