Last week I succumbed yet again to my passion for Swiss rifles and bought two 96/11's and a K31 at an on-line auction. Also got an 1891 Argentine Mauser.
Description stated:
Schmidt-Rubin Model 1896/11 Straight-Pull Rifle, #313237, 7.5x55mm Swiss, 30.7'' barrel, tangent leaf sight graduated to 2000 meters, blue finish, European walnut stocks, with sling. Import marked. Condition is very good retaining approx. 94% original factory blue. Stock with thinning to finish and light to just moderate dings, scuffs and scratches. Action is crisp, bore is very good and should clean to better.
