Diopter party

The Swiss love marksmanship and shooting matches so several types of diopter have been developed for competition. The type often encountered is the Type "K" made by Waffenfabrik (WF)for the K31. It clamps onto the rifle front sight and receiver with no alteration needed. This particular on...

Re: K98 pics

That looks great, Sarge!

Re: Schmidt Rubin, Model G11

Yes, a chamber cleaning tool.

You can see that additional mesh came with the kit too. The pull-through has an opening mid way along it that can accommodate a patch or mesh.

That kit looks like it's in great shape!
