Indians For Guns

Headed to the range yesterday, decided to shoot the STGW 57 so had to get is ready. Took a bunch of pictures on its disassembly.


One unhooks the sling for the muzzle end to begin with.

Then on the underside of the butt, there is small button to depress and twist the butt.


This then removes the butt with the recoil spring.


next is the removal of the trigger assembly with the integral hammer


the picture above was taken during reassembly. And you can see the take down pin fairly clearly. One depresses this and the trigger group comes out easily.


In order to remove the bolt you just pull the cocking handle to the rear and it slides out.


And the gun is disassembled as much as you need to for regular use.

That's one mean looking scary gun.

How much does she weigh and what was the range report??

Regards

One needs to ensure there is a light coating of the Swiss army grease on the recoil springs, rollers etc. And then reassembly.

The order is Bolt, Cocking handle, Butt and trigger group.
Left to right: 8x60S, 7.5 Swiss, .22-250, 6 BR


And finally my puppy who was not amused..

As I said earlier, it is one superbly engineered and finished rifle and the quality shines through. A lot like the Bren in disassembly.Thanks for sharing these pics.

The gun wieghs a little over 6 Kg loaded.
Is accurate with the GP-11 ammo can stay withing the 8 ring at 100 meters. Thanks to the roller delayed blowback the recoil is neglegible.

Every time I see that rifle, the saliva starts flowing. Man! I love that thing.
MoA, please continue to post photos periodically. Sweet, sweet SIG goodness.

XL have to do something new and interesting to keep posting pics.

haven bought anything except for some Ammo in the last few months. (7.62x39).

So no pics per se.

Dear MoA,

Thanks for the instructions.

You can rest assured that Have tried to learn these and now look forward to the practical aspect when i see you next.

That's really a masterpiece of engineering.Congrats.

Shooter,

You can have the pleasure of cleaning it as well.. Which is painful.
