SCHMIDT-RUBIN Model 1911 Carbine (K11) 7.5X55MM SWISS
Description: Guns Listing ID: 1409059 One of several variants of the Schmidt-Rubin series of rifles developed for the Swiss Army, the K11 is a carbine based on the Model 1911 which itself was an updated variant of the original 1889 version of the rifle. The K11 was chambered for the 7.5x55mm Swiss cartridge, designated GP11 by the Swiss Army, and while originally being designed for second line and other rear echelon troops became a favorite within the Swiss Army. It was so popular in fact, (being a light weight carbine but still exceptionally accurate), it was the K11 carbine that became the basis for the the newer K31 rifle, a carbine that became the standard issue rifle of the Swiss military from 1933 through World War II and beyond. The Schmidt-Rubin rifles are famous for their rather unique straight pull bolt-action, a somewhat radical departure from the rotating bolt system found on most repeating rifles of the time. This K11 is in fair condition. It has been sporterized, lacking the full length forend of true military spec K11 rifles. Most of the original finish remains on the action and barrel with some significant wear in area. the bore is clean and shiny with good rifling. The stock and forend as mentioned have been sporterized, possessing some small scratches and dents along with a hand-scored design just beneath the receiver on each side and the semi-pistol grip has been significantly hand repaired. The rifle is otherwise mechanically functional and ready to fire.
