I have for sale two Schmidt-Rubin 1889 7.5 x 55 mm rifles with complete stocks and in good condition.
Each rifle comes with bayonet, bayonet scabbard, frog, muzzle cap, 60 rounds of ammunition and a hardshell case.
$600.00 each or $1000.00 for the pair.
Buyer pays shipping.
 
.... and for anyone who does buy these, check the ammunition carefully ...

CAUTION: DO NOT shoot the M1889 Schmidt-Rubin using standard 7.5 x 55 Swiss (GP11) military surplus ammunition. The chamber of the M1889 was not designed to handle the pressures generated by the more modern GP11 round. The Model 1889 action was designed to handle rounds that generated at most 39,000 psi, while GP11 rounds produce 45,500 psi. It is safe to fire modern 7.5 x 55 Swiss (GP11) rounds in Model 1896/11s, 1911s and K31s. If you wish to fire your M1889, you are going to have to reload your own cartridges.

Regards,
Badger
