The Stamm-Saurer Model 1916 is a rare experimental Swiss light machine gun designed by Hans Stamm. This air-cooled prototype, one of two built, retains features from water-cooled designs for manufacturing ease. It utilizes a short-recoil action, fires the 7.5x55mm GP11 cartridge from a 20-round magazine, and incorporates a unique out-of-battery safety mechanism.

The Stamm-Saurer Model 1913 is a rare long-recoil prototype semi-automatic rifle developed by Hans Stamm for Saurer. Its complex dual-spring system and long-recoil action offered safety but proved too complex for mass production. Only 15 prototypes were made before WWI halted development and Saurer's firearms division closed.

The Stamm-Saurer Model 1907 was a rare Swiss straight-pull bolt-action rifle developed by Hans Stamm for Saurer to compete for military contracts. Despite its high quality and innovative features like a unique rear sight and integrated cleaning rod, it was rejected by the Swiss military. The rifle competed against the Schmidt-Rubin K11 and G11, ultimately losing due to existing institutional knowledge of the Schmidt-Rubin and Saurer's refusal to license production.

This guide details the disassembly and reassembly of the Stamm-Saurer Model 1907 straight-pull bolt action rifle. It highlights the unique helical groove camming mechanism and the ring safety, comparing it to contemporary designs like the Schmidt-Rubin and Gewehr 98. The video, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, offers an expert-level look at the rifle's mechanics.

The Stamm-Zeller 1902 was an early attempt at a semi-automatic rifle developed by Hans Stamm and Zeller & Cie, converting a straight-pull action to gas operation. Despite high-quality Swiss manufacturing and innovative features like a unique safety/re-cocking lever, it was rejected by military trials. Only a handful of prototypes were produced, making it a rare piece of early semi-automatic firearm development.
