    Just saw a post about rifles using this last night.. .forget where though.

    Ammo was last made in the 50s, but there is now a kit to convert to a centerfire and use brass from a different old/obsolete caliber to make 41 swiss cf ammo...

    made in italy by leon beaux and co. milano italy they made ammo during the war and also commercial sporting cart..the 41 swiss was loaded in the US before the war but after was never made here again after the war.it was for the swiss vetterli rifle 1880-1870 models 41 rimfire..ammo worth about 4-5 bucks a round..it's not made any more..most guns have been converted to center fire to use machined 41 brass
