Just saw this rifle for sale at the LGS / shooting range. Not something you see every day.

West Coast Armory had one years ago for sale. I believe they wanted 20K+ for it.

That's an old one. I have two of the recent imports (a 26 and a super rare 18). They didn't come with the trigger or grip and they are pic recievers.

OP:. Can you do me a favor. Can you tell me if the pistol grip is ambi? I have a line on some but don't want to order them if they won't work for a lefty. Also how much?

Sorry saw the pricetag.

Well the grip is completely symmetrical so I’m pretty sure it’s ambidextrous

The rifle and I are in Switzerland [emoji1237] hence the CHF price

That's just plain cool. European DMRs will always have a special place in my heart considering the problems they were solving for in the time period they were introduced.

Oh my! Between my recent purchase of a B&T APC300 and San 553LB you people take too much of my money as is! I'd be broke if I lived there:D

A handful of these as well as some PSG1s were imported post 89 as a LE sale and then later resold in the wild, kind of like those CA DOC 94s, and I really, really wanted one of each but I had thousands of dollars locked up into a group buy that also involved other people's money so I just couldn't do it.

And while available, they weren't exactly being offered at discount prices, but I'd have love to have scored either one. And I still really need a PSG1.

So do I.

Unlikely though.

I really need a PSG1, used to be issued one back in the day.
