Schmidt Rubin Model 1889 Bolt Action 7.5 mm Rifle

In 1882 Eduard Rubin began testing the first small-calibre copper-jacketed bullet which could successfully withstand high velocities. In 1885, this round was combined with Rudolf Schmidt's first straight-pull action resulting in the Swiss, Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889 7.5 x 53.5 mm Rifle. This is a very good example with all original wood and metal work throughout. It has a 23.3” long barrel. The stock & metal are stamped with Swiss Military marks (illustrated). The barrel and magazine are stamped with matching serial numbers '370714'. It is complete with bayonet bar, sling swivels, adjustable rear sight & winged fore sight. The rifle is complete with its original brass and steel foresight and muzzle protector. Deactivated to UK specification in 2001 the rifle cocks and dry fires and the magazine can be removed. Deactivated to UK / EU specification in 2018 the weapon’s slide and trigger move and the magazines can be inserted & removed. The price includes UK/EU deactivation certificate and UK delivery.
