Buddy H Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 After seeing the Solothurn S18-1000 posted on the NFA Market board ....... I thought it was time to repost this Old 1957 advertisement....... wasn't this the 20mm used in ..... Saving Private Ryan ...... the street ambush scene ? I wonder how many they had to sell ? surely every one over here came from this company ....... notice this was even before postal zip codes where used .......

mike in pa Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I heard way back that around 300-400 were imported. A handful of S18-1100 select fire models were imported too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 sadly, I had just ordered 2 LAHTI's And 4 cases of ammo when these showed up , and no more funding was coming for a while, then they were gone. it was a bit strange because there was no advance talk about them, they just "arrived" so I think it was a quickly closed deal added to a larger purchase. MR EARLL did get one with the wheeled mount that I managed to use some of my ammo in at a MARANA shoot and it broke my heart. one of the finest machined, smoothest running weapons ever encountered by me. however the new "WINDRUNNER .50 semi was a definite close second in both respects. too bad the management was not up to par and they never really happened enough to do any good. the SA-18 is one of those things that will give as much joy looking and touching as shooting. ANZIO's new ammo makes all 3 very real for who ever gets this one. (sigh) mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
