This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/16/2025
Manufactured by SIG in Switzerland as semi-automatic commercial derivative of the SIG 510 rifle for the American market. This example was imported by Benet Arms, who brought in limited numbers from 1969 to 1989. It is believed only around 3,000 were imported to the US in total. The barrel sports an attractive aftermarket blued grenade launcher cage flash hider and a black enamel finished perforated shroud. Protected post front sight and 1-600 meter graduated rear aperture sight. Iron sights are superseded by an El Paso Weaver V4.5 1.5-4.5X scope with European inspired post and line reticle. Matte finished stamped construction receiver with folding winter trigger. Furniture includes a folding bipod, figured walnut splinter forend, ribbed plastic pistol grip, and walnut stock with ribbed steel butt plate. Externally visible matching numbers observed on barrel shroud, receiver, and trigger housing. Stock mount is numbered "5851", 1 number off, presumably a factory error. CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the factory finishes are retained with some mild high edge silvering and handling. Forend has some wear lines from the bipod. Stock has a few light impressions. Very fine bore with razor sharp rifling. Fine mechanics.
