VERY Nice SWISS M1896/11 Straight Pull BOLT ACTION 7.5mm C&R MILITARY Rifle

With LEATHER SLING & MUZZLE PROTECTOR

Here we present a C&R Swiss Model 1896/11 Straight Pull Bolt Action Military Rifle, made by Schmidt-Rubin circa the turn of the century in Switzerland. The Schmidt–Rubin rifles were a series of Swiss Army service rifles in use between 1889 and 1958. They are distinguished by the straight-pull bolt action invented by Rudolf Schmidt and use Eduard Rubin's 7.5×55mm Schmidt–Rubin rifle cartridge.

The Schmidt–Rubin 1896/11 rifle, also referred to as the Model 96/11, was a Swiss upgrade to the 89/96 rifles they had, to use the more powerful cartridge adopted as the GP11, also called the 7.5mm Swiss. The GP11 cartridge operated at a higher chamber pressure, which the 89/96 action could easily handle. The model 89/96 rifles were modernized by changing the three-groove rifled barrel to a new 4-groove type, adding a pistol grip to the stock, changing the magazine to the 6-round type used in the 1900 short rifle, and modernizing the sights. This also streamlined the appearance of the rifles. Because more rifles were needed than were available, the model 1911 rifle, with slight changes, was put into production. Almost all of the 127,000-plus model 89/96 rifles were converted to the 96/11 specifications.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is shiny bright with nice rifling. This example has been refinished. Solid stock with and expected amount of wear from use. Sharp markings. Visible numbers match. Good leather sling. There is a thin, stable crack at the pistol grip on the right side.
