24-536
Cal. 7.5 Swiss
S# 3337

Bbl. 24″. The SIG PE57 is the semiautomatic version of the Stgw57 machine gun. These were very expensive when imports started in the 1960s-1970s, and combined w/ a caliber not common in the United States, there were only a limited number imported, leading to their scarcity today. Left side receiver markings include; “SIGARMS, INC / TYSONS CORNER – VA / MADE IN SWITZERLAND”. w/ serial number. The operating system consists of a closed-bolt, delayed blowback mechanism utilizing twin locking rollers. It is charged by utilizing a non-reciprocating op-rod, w/ a beer-keg shaped charging handle, protruding from the right side. The safety / selector is located on the left side of the receiver w/ a clever, folding winter trigger mechanism located on the right side, parallel w/ the magazine well. Matte black finish on all exposed metal parts. Folding, protected blade front sight. Folding, elevation micro-adjustable rear peep sight more resembles a target / match rifle than a battle rifle. Folding bipod mounted just forward of front trunnion rotates 360 degrees, but is stored below the 12″ ventilated barrel shroud, out of the way, not interfering w/ operation. Folding carry handle rests on left side of receiver. MAGS: 1 steel 24 rd. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Original foam packaging & cleaning kit.
