Schmidt-Rubin M1911 Rifle - 7.5x55mm Swiss (GP11)

The Swiss Schmidt-Rubin Rifle is the name for a variety of rifles made for the Swiss Army. The Swiss designer Rudolf Schmidt designed the straight-pull bolt action as the Rifle Model 1889 that replaced the previous Vetterli Rifle system. The corresponding cartridges 7.5 mm (GP 90) and the advanced 7.5 × 55mm Swiss (GP 11) developed by Eduard Rubin. So the name Schmidt-Rubin came.

The three main Full-length models are the M1889 (recognizable that is the only version with locking lugs on the rear of the bolt body), the M1896 (shorter than the M1889) and the M1911 (developed for the 7,5 × 55 mm Swiss (GP11) cartridge, pistol grip, improved sights and a 6 round detachable box magazine).

The most striking feature of this gun type is the straight pull action, similar to the Austrian Mannlicher Rifle series.. The Schmidt-Rubin rifles, including the famous K31 Rifle, was the main battle rifle of Switzerland and was gradually replaced by the Sturmgewehr 57 assault rifle.
