GP11 Sale

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.

GP11 Sale

Post by plantfoam » Mon Aug 01, 2005 3:23 pm

Just a heads up....Century has GP11 under the August specials:

$144 for a 480rd case

This is probably one of the best deals I've seen on Swiss surplus.

Phil is right.

I'm an ole tight wad and I consistently cruise the Internet looking for good deals. The deal is better if you can get some friends in your local area to go in together on a big order. It's just a $12.50 service fee no matter how many rounds you order and no shipping cost. Shipping can costs can sometimes turn a real good deal into not such a good deal. :lol:

Phil you ready for another group guy?

why is the swedish surplus so much higher than the others? the ammo price is pretty much what keeps me from buying a K-31.

Swiss not Swedish. As with most anything Swiss, the ammo is superb. It's general issue match grade. Less than 1" groups at 100 meters out of a Schmidt-Rubin rifle are common.Also, they were the only ones using this cartridge, except maybe for a few oddball exports to countries like Argentina.

Also, commercial ammo is coming on the market right now, and to make it more interesting, brass is readily available for reloading.
