Includes1 Original Molot Factory 5 round Magazine Features: The Vepr 12 gauge shotgun is known around the world as one of the finest IPSC and 3 Gun shotguns made. This is your chance to own one of these highly sought after shotguns. This is the new model Vepr 12 Semi Auto Shotgun with a fixed metal stock The safety lever is also duplicated on the left side of the receiver. It is fitted with a modified AK-style safety that has an additional lever that permits faster “safety on” operation.

Of course, it also mentions that one of the requirements for a marksman to qualify as a sniper is to make a first-round hit on a roughly 7 inch square target at 300m.The Vepr 12 is produced by the Molot factory and incorporates a bolt hold-open device which holds the bolt open when the magazine is emptied. Of note, the manual describes the ZfK-55 as being intended for targets out to 600m, which is a bit shorter range than we tend to think of a “sniper” today.

But, I digress – here’s the English manual covering all of these guns: Swiss K11, K31, K31-42, K31-43 and ZfK55 Manual (English, 1958) Here’s a photo of a pair of 31/42 rifles above a ZfK-55, which I’ve lifted from the forum at : From top to bottom, prototype K31/42, production K31/42, ZfK-55įYI, if anyone is interested in acquiring a 31/42 or 31/43 (or virtually any other variant of Swiss straight-pull rifle), Simpson Ltd has them available ( 31/42, 31/43, 31/43, 31/43). The 42 version used a 1.8x scope, and the 43 had a 2.8x scope, both of which were mounted integral to the left side of the receiver. The 31/42 and 31/43 are rare and very interesting scoped variants of the K31, without the additional changes made to the ZfK55 (muzzle brake, heavy barrel, bipod, etc). In addition, Robert sent me an English translation of a 1958 Swiss manual which covers the K11, K31, 31/42, 31/43, and ZfK-55 rifles. That one is in German as well, but an English translation has been floating around the ‘net, and I’ve included it here as well: Swiss ZfK55 Armorers-Manual (German, 1957) Swiss ZfK55 Armorers-Manual (English, 1967) Swiss ZfK55 Armorers-Manual (German, 1967) The other is a much more details armorer’s manual dating from 1967. The first is a basic operation manual printed (in German) in 1956, right after the rifle was adopted. Next up, we have a couple manuals for the rifle.

To start off, Beryl sent this vintage photo of a group of Swiss troops with a ZfK-55 (and a big ol’ rifle grenade as well): click to enlarge Thanks to several readers, I have some more material on the Swiss ZfK-55 sniper rifle today.
