Description

The Swiss Model 1896/11 rifle (Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11) was a modernization of the earlier Model 1896 straight-pull rifle, upgraded by Waffenfabrik Bern to take full advantage of the improved GP11 cartridge and extend the service life of existing rifles. Adopted beginning in 1911, the 1896/11 retained the distinctive straight-pull bolt system while incorporating significant updates, including a strengthened action, improved sights, and a redesigned stock with a semi-pistol grip for better handling. Chambered in 7.5×55mm Swiss (GP11), the rifle delivered excellent accuracy and ballistic performance, reflecting Switzerland’s emphasis on marksmanship and precision infantry doctrine. Serving alongside and eventually supplemented by the later K11 and K31 carbines, the 1896/11 remained in Swiss military service through the early 20th century and into the interwar period. Today, the Swiss 1896/11 rifle is a highly regarded collectible, valued for its blend of early Schmidt-Rubin design with later improvements, outstanding craftsmanship, and reputation as one of the most accurate military rifles of its era.

Very surplus condition, chambered 7.5x55. Minimal finish loss on receiver as is typical, along with magazine. VG to EX bore. Matched throughout with a new number stamped on buttplate. Discreetly import marked. This is the exact rifle you will receive. C&R Eligible!
