Genuine Swiss military sight wrenches...

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

These wrenches are looked after and do high prices.

Been a while since you have posted anything. Glad to see the new posts.

This Swiss forum has been pretty dead ever since Plantfoam left suddenly for parts unknown.

Well I remember this forum getting less active and later lost track of it, it's that "moving email" that made me find it back.

Maybe we should move more often. Well.....maybe not. Hope this is the last change for a while.

It takes many months to make a forum popular and the opposite can be done in less than a week. Every forum depends on the willingness of the members to contribute.

You nailed it. A forum is as dependent on residents as any city or town on the map, because it IS a community and how you judge the worthiness of your fellow members to value your contributions and efforts relates directly on their visits.

I feel very comfortable here and look forward to seeing this forum grow and it will with the content and camaraderie I see.

Yup but even more important is to get people with the same interest in the direction of this section of the forum and that can only be done by drawing attention with new postings.
