PE-57

[navajo]

Just curious
Has any one here owned or even seen Swiss PE-57?
This rifle stayed on the ban list which I think is ridiculous because the retail price at ban time was $3,000.00.
And you had to roll your own 7.5X55mm ammo.
Mag capacity was 24 rounds.

I've handled a couple, though not fired one (yet). They were available in 7.5 Swiss (as the PE57) and 7.62 Nato (as the AMT, if I recall the designations correctly). DS Arms had parts kits for them until fairly recently...

Fantastic rifles, I'd own one if they were legal in CT. Along with a real 550.

IMHO their are not to many rifles out their that are better than what the Swiss make.

Ran a magazine through one on full auto. What a beast. Craftsmanship was incredible, but I had trouble figuring out what it did that other .308s didn't.

An amazing rifle, I'd love to own one. It's hard to appreciate until you see/handle one in person.
