Your qoute: "I have to agree.
Have I also heard that the Swiss had some major restrictions placed on private firearms ownership a few years back? Swissman talks about limits on how many, if you recall. I am not sure this vid is still the current state of affairs, either.
Yeras ago, The Rifleman did an article on the Swiss militia weapons held by citizens. The issued ammo was in sealed packs. Break the seal, and it was a MAJOR problem for you. I think the weapons also had a seal on them. It could easily be removed when the militia was called up, but again, you had a MAJOR problem if they inspected your weapon and the seal was broken."


Handejector you're wrong. We have no seal at the gun. And we can buy ammo for the STGW 57 and STGW 90 at the range
or in the gunshop. We need the sealed pocket-ammo only in the case of war. We use our Army-Rifle in our civil life as a
target-rifle for civil-shooting contests and our annual army-shooting. So a seal don't makes any sense.
