The second picture on the right is either a M78 or M81 rifle, not a M71 stutzer. It has the single trigger from a rifle and 2 barrelbands from the M78 or M81 (older types had 3 bands). 80.101.7.35 ( talk) 19:47, 26 December 2009 (UTC) reply

I changed the photo of a 71 Rifle fo a real Vetterli Carbine. I deleted Pfenninger, he did never produce Vetterlis, he was a lokal gunsmith who prepared Vetterlis for shooters -- hmaag ( talk) 13:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC) reply
