You might be the only person no #nostr I know that would appreciate this: I bought a Schmidt–Rubin 1889 straight pull. Unfortunately I am packed for a move and can’t get to it now. Will share a picture once I can get to it in a few months. #gunstr

Sweet! That is old school! With the bayonet? What's the condition?
I don't have anything older than the K31.
No bayonet. It is technically not a firearm per US law because the ammo is obsolete.
I have never fired it but I think it will fire “lightly loaded” / necked down 7.5 Swiss.
And I have a case cutter, but no dies yet.
My understanding is the bolt is much weaker than the k11 or K31 so never fire 7.5 Swiss even if it chambers…
Either way, it would make a great mantle piece 😉 It's a great piece of Swiss history in your home.
