Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Have decided to throw this one out for trade considerations. Would like to find either an M69 Vetterli or a 69/71 from a different manufacturer. Currently both of my 69/71's are manufactured by SIG, Neuhausen.

Trades would have to be in equal condition to include nice clear pics of the trade item. No sanded rifles please, restored is fine.

May consider other trades so feel free to offer.

Rifle Specifics:
- 69/71 SIG, Neuhausen
- S/N 87XXX (all matching)
- Bore is shines and lands are strong
- Chamber is tight. Thun brass doesn't fit.
- Wood solid, beautiful and has no cracks
- Bolt is not converted nor has the rifle been shot by me.
- Everything works perfect
- Rifle was restored not refinished so no stain or bluing was used.

Items not included with rifle.
- No cleaning rod included (mine from another rifle)
- No sling included

Stock was freshly oiled prior to these pics.















20 pics total here, click on pic below:



Can take pics of anything part you want to see.

If no trades catch my interest I'll hang on to this one.

Wood was lightly cleaned using mineral spirits to get rid of the crud and the oiled with raw linseed oil (not BLO). Receiver was cleaned up using .0000 steel wool and oil to remove surface rust. Barrel bands and nose cap were scrubbed to remove the rust, pitting is still evident along with butt plate.

So it is restored to original condition. Refinished to me would involve sanding, staining and rebluing.

Thanks for your interest.
