Swiss Minimi
Last year, after being very patient (5 years), I found this nearly new Minimi. It is the para triple rail (TR) version:
My Minimi differs somewhat from the Swiss Army one: the Swiss one has a fixed butstock and has a barrel thread optimized fort the GP90 ammo i.e 10" turn instead of 7"

Looked more like "fun" to me.
Who manufactured the suppressor, B&T?
I Like your para minimi. Very nice condition. Did you get the spare barrel as well?
Also,
Do you have a PE57, a PE90, and a 210?07/02 SOT Manufacturer, Suppressors, NFA Firearms, and everything else COOL!

Yes, I have, I will post some pictures in the black rifle section. The army issued weapons are not called PE; i.e PE stands for "Privat Einzelschuss" which means "private semi-auto"; in other words the same weapon as the army one but build without auto-fire mechanism; the army denomination is FASS or STG 57, 90 and the P210 becomes P49; the figures standing for the year the weapon has been commissioned: 1957, 1990 or 1949; STG meaning STurmGewehr, FASS Fusil d'ASSaut or Assault Weapon. All army issued weapons have a serial number starting with an A, Private ones with a P. After finishing active service, you have the possibility to keep your service weapon; then the weapon is modified to be semi-auto only, and a P-mark is added at the end of the serial number.
The code name for the army Minimi is LMg05 meaning Leicht Maschingewehr 2005 (light machine-gun).
No the silencer has been developed by AMSD (Advanced Military Systems Design), who developed the .50BMG OW Nemesis (OW= Jim Owens & Chris Movigliatti), the B&T .308 and .338 APR and many other.
The above in a nutshell."Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." JFK 01/29/1961
