POTD: Shorties in Switzerland

by Eric B

A wonderful picture from Switzerland to kick off TFB’s Photo Of The Day. We have a table full of Short-Barreled Rifles. Yes, their legal definition and how they’re classified may vary from country to country and sometimes even from state to state. The following rifles are on the table:

B&T P26
CSA VZ58 Sporter Compact
AR-15
SAN SG552
BSR74

To my knowledge, the B&T P26 is not available any longer.

The picture is from Vogt Waffen in Switzerland. They also have a wonderful selection of suppressors from B&T that would suit these shorties very well.

I’ve got a thing for short rifles and carbines, and I’m probably not alone.

Which one of these shorties would you prefer and why? Would the choice be based on the caliber or anything else like the country it was made in? Let us know in the comments below.

    I wonder how their ammo supply is?

      @Collecting History So far, so good. There was no run on guns when the Covid thing started, so no real change.
      Would we like to have the same selection than you guys in the states have? Absolutetly! But with the laws being as they are, we will have to live without hollow points, little variety on magnum handgun ammo and only a fragment of the Hornday offerings...

    Would definitely love to have the SG552. I have an Arsenal SLR-104UR that's been SBR'd, and it's my favorite rifle. I have always wanted a "Krinkov" for as long as I can remember, and I knew one day I would own one, no matter what hurdles were in place. As much as I hate the absolutely ridiculous NFA laws, I had to have the real buttstock on it and not a brace. While I do not fault ANYBODY for going the brace route, it simply isn't for me.
