This video dives into the history and design of the SIG-Manurhin 542, often considered the last Swiss battle rifle. It highlights the rifle's AK-like operating system, its simple and economical sheet steel construction, and its development in response to the failure of the SIG 530. The description details how Swiss law led to SIG licensing the design to Manurhin in France, who produced both military and civilian versions. Civilian models, particularly in .222 Remington and .243 Winchester, were made due to French restrictions on military calibers. The video also notes the rarity of US imports and the presence of an original Hensoldt scope on the featured example from Larry Vickers' collection.
