Swiss Made Schmidt Rubin Model SR 1889 Rifle. Due to the early date of manufacture this is considered an Antique Firearm....As such No FFL Required. We can ship this one directly to your door. These are in pretty good condition especially considering the age. In fact they are some of the nicest 1889's we have ever seen but certainly expect typical surplus wear. See accompanying video to see actual rifles. Does not fire modern ammunition - See extended description for ammo warning.
Originally introduced into the Swiss Army in 1890, the Model 1889 with a 12 round, box magazine capacity was eagerly accepted into service by Swiss soldiers. The Model 1889 had twice the range and was far more accurate than the older black powder Vetterli. This rifle is equipped to be fitted with the Model 1889 bayonet.Total Schmidt Rubin Model 1889 rifles produced: approx. 212,00. The overall condition of these rifles is very nice and the bores have been remarkable. It always amazes me to see the workmanship in these early guns and the Swiss have by far the best examples.
This rifle originally fired a black powder based centerfire cartridge that is slightly shorter than the modern 7.5x55 ammunition. Bolt is not made to withstand the high pressure generated by modern cartridges but many handloaders are still making their own ammunition and claim amazing accuracy with this weapon.
Notice: Do NOT load 7.5x55/GP11 ammo into this rifle and fire! It is UNSAFE!Due to its age this rifle is considered an Antique Firearm and No FFL Is Required for Purchase.
