Gunny
"Officers don't do nothin', not at least in the Corps, when I was in.  They tell the Gunny to do it.  The Gunny gets some Lance Corporal to do it."

Please thank the Lance Corporal for the fine job with the pictures.

I've been keeping a file of all the info I can gather, such as the previous posts, with the rifle so future generations will appreciate it for what it is and not just make it into a floor lamp.  It is a pleasure to get it to the range and make very small groups..  Perhaps on a windy day it would be fun in a benchrest match.
Thanks, Joe

Doubled, It sure is a a nice clean one. The Match won with these Rifles was the 1930 International Match. I am not sure the Olympics had even been revived at that time. The Gold Medal was in team competition, six shooters. Mixed group of Military and Civilians that won their spot on the Team by shooting outstanding scores here.
I have had the opportunity to handle and shoot about a dozen of these. Have owned two, still have one. These were high roller Rifles.
Cost thru the NRA special ordered after the 1930 Matches was $300.00
There is no information available from the Swiss. We wrote to them and got a reply that they had no info on them because at that time the Swiss constitution forbid the keeping of Firearms sales and owner information. The Palm rest is a Ball and has an adjustment pivot with teeth similiar to the teeth on the adjustable Buttplate. It is mounted just behind the forend where it butts up to the reciever. The tapped hole in the Reciever looks like a 5/16-24 but it is not! It is a Metric pitch screw. HTH Regards, FITZ.

Boats,
That would be appreciated.  I've got Crossman's books.  Fitz has put in a lot of info into this thread.  The serial nr of mine match on the barrel and the receiver but are a couple of digits lower than he mentioned in his note.  Springfield Research Service websight lists the serial numbers which show mine at Springfield with a number of others in 1929.  The page indicates they can provide more info in a letter for $100;  not sure I need that much.
All in all its a fun rifle.
Joe

Joe, the memory has returned. HAH! It was Paul Yeager who rebarreled a batch of Hammerli's in the early 50's. The Barrel length was shorter and smaller in diameter. Not a featherweight by any means still a short, fat stiff barrel of target grade accuracy. We call them the "Carbine" models here. One of mine was one. I sold it and moved up to an original one with the larger Barrel. Now wish I had the "Carbine" back as I find an 18+ Lb Rifle a bit much for offhand shooting in my old age. HTH, Regards, FITZ.

Fitz, thanks for the info on the "carbine";  mine was also rebarreled to shoot a lot, a number of years ago with a 30" tube.  Seems that 30" was as long a standard barrel that was available.  The original 31" one that is serialized is oiled up and saved.  Can be restored as a collector in a jiffy.  That extra weight doesn't matter as I have also outgrown any chance of improving at offhand.  Its just fine off a rest.

DD, thanks for the serial reference, this one was "Targeted at SA on 040929"  A letter is available for $100;  I'm not sure what else they have for that much.
