Schmidt Rubin 1889 in Obsolete 7.5x53.5 Rimless Rubin

[Rarms]

Schmidt Rubin Rifle Model 1889. Chambered for the 7.5mm x 53.5 Rimless Rubin GP90 round. Serial number 176459, which means it was manufactured in 1894. The serial numbers match on the barrel/action/bolt and the magazine. Factory blued finish is great in most places, although there is some tarnish to the 12 shot magazine which seems common with others of this model. Some inspection and armoury marks/stamps to wood and metalwork, rear sight graduated from 300 to 2000 metres, also includes what I assume is an original sling and a loading clip with 6 inert rounds.











It is a somewhat unique looking rifle, with a straight pull action with twin locking lugs locking the bolt into the action.

This rifle benefits from its status as being chambered for an obsolete calibre and can therefore be owned live under Sec. 58 of the firearms act as a curio or collectable without any form of license. That said I have had this rifle on my firearms certificate and shot it a few times, it shoots well, and I have raised for foresight blade with resin to overcome the factory 300 yard zero. This can easily be removed with no adverse effects if desired. Load data I used can be provided for information purposes if you have an FAC and are planning on shooting it.

Can be purchased as is and does not need to go on FAC. Ideal for the wall of the man cave!

Looking for £375 collected from Worthing in West Sussex, can deliver within Sussex/Hants, meet at Bisley etc...
