Swiss HUBERTEC Stgw 57 Upgrade Kits
Did you recognize the Swiss Sturmgewehr 57 in the top image? Amazing, isn’t it? This conversion done by a Swiss company called Hubertec looks like a very well thought out design that turns an ugly duckling like the Stgw 57 into such a beauty.

Swiss Firepower: The SIG AMT (STG57)
The Swiss are known for producing some of the world’s finest firearms, and the STG57 is no exception. The rifle served from 1957 until 1990 when it was officially replaced by the SIG 550 series, but today they are treasured by their owners in Europe and a few that trickled into the USA and elsewhere.
We take a rare look today at one variant designed for export known as the SIG AMT (American Match Target).
