Picked this Vetterli up with in the last year. Had to have her due to the tiger stripe in the butt stock. Bore was shiney and clean and the rifle had every thing but the cleaning rod. That problem was solved by a good friend. Czech is credited with the reproduction sling and is making a frog and scabbord for the bayonet.
After I first received it.
Added the sling and cleaning rod
Different thing here is that the 69/71 receivers are in the white and this one shows an old blued finish.
Picked up this M78/81 just a couple of weeks ago. She is all matching and solid as the 69/71. Couple of minor things to fix on her but will give me something to do. Lifter arm spring is broke and rear sight is bent, parts in route.
This one had the extra firing pin under the butt plate.
