Hello fellow CGN'ers.
Well I just received my first Swiss Arms rifle the other day from a member of the board.
I have been around firearms all my life and have always had an interest in "military type" rifles. My Dad has owned guns as long as I can remember and has some very cool stuff to LOOK at (thanks to the liberal gov). I bought a Robarms M96 about a year and half ago which was my first "black rifle". I have had a lot of fun with this rifle and learned a lot with it, however my new Black Special makes it look like a cheap piece of crap!
I took the Swiss into the mountains in my gunslinger pack on my sled yesterday and fired it for the first time. What an absolute joy of a rifle! It is so well made that I think it will outlast me by a long shot. Very comfortable to carry and use, seems to be quite accurate, and very compact folded up in my pack.
All in all I am very happy with my new rifle. I am a little disappointed that the accessories are so expensive, although it seems there may be some more options coming along in the future. 5 round mags is such a tease after using the LAR-15's in my 96, but that may be able to be resolved soon as well I gather.
I will include a couple of pics of my "range" from my little expedition yesterday. Surprisingly I didn't get any pictures of the actual rifle, more to come. Enjoy!
Loving the Swiss quality,
