    Fascinating; thanks for posting.

    I recall reading about these rifles and the general who designed them years ago and have always wondered why they never seem to turn up for sale.
    People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

      They are rare and mainly in museums (Museo del Ejercito Mexicano in Mexico, DF has one; Aberdeen Arsenal in MD has one). Some in really advanced collections. And the selective fire ones are mainly overseas, for obvious reasons.

        It looks like Mexico had a contract with the Swiss to produce these rifles. Then the Mexican Revolution occurred and that contract was forgotten.

        So they say.

          there was one on gunbroker a year or so ago for like 3 grand, well worth it if you ask me, for such a rare piece. mexican contract, swiss-made, german-used in the Great War, mostly by airplane crews to shoot at enemy planes, if you can believe that. the germans made special drum magazines for them, awesome! if you find one, sell your car, your pets, perhaps even a child if you have a spare and get it!

              That would seem like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

                There was one at a Greg Martin auction some years ago. I just looked at it and drooled.

                    sweet!!!!
                    Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
                    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
