Cannot find any and I would rather use it to compete with than to try to rush and develop a handload - especially with the primer shortage.
Pointers extremely welcome. thanks, Stefan |

I bought a rifle last week and the seller said he had several rounds for sale. If you will pm me with your e-mail address I'll pass it along. |

I'm only finding it at gunshows. I picked up 3 bricks yesterday at $35 each. This vendor only had 8 bricks.
The others selling were asking $40/brick so I was hapy to pay the $35 without tax. I keep looking but am not finding any online. I have not seen any on gunbroker for a while either.

Sucks, they imported all these Swiss rifles but decided to not import a mountain of ammo to feed them. Will have to try and get Privi, or wolf gold.

I've been wondering, why are they 10 rounds per box but 6 rounds per stripper clip? Those Swiss are so logical, would it not have made sense to put 12
rounds in a box instead?

LOL the K31 was no longer the standard defensive rifle in the early sixties, the Stgw 57 was and that one was able to took mag-loads in several ways that's
why the 10-round packings are there.
Still a brick is 10 X 6 = 60 and that is also the same as 10 K31 mags... Guisan.

Huzzah! I was running low on GP11, holding out for the next shipment.
Now I can go shooting! (Need to start reloading). TRF |

I'd wondered about that 6 round, 10 round thing myself.

Till the late fifties a "brick" contained of 10 filled-up 6-round chargers, after the new Stgw57 got introduced they changed that to six 10-round
packings so still a 60-brick with no chargers anymore.

I have a package of 10 scharfe Gewehrpatronen marked with a large 11 on the label beside the swiss cross 7.5 mm below that and dated 6.6.56T. The label is
white on the top 1/3 and red below.

Yes the same style as the Vatican ammo packings, not every gun needed the chargers, the Lmg's and Mg's did not but I can show you a pic of a 60-round
brick with a similar label and a rope around it that contains 10 full chargers (and a couple of cleaning flannelettes), those were no longer used in the
sixties when the gray ammo labels were first introduced.
