A personal request from JWR: For our collection here at the ranch, I’m looking for an antique Swiss 7.5mm Schmidt-Rubin Model 1896/11 rifle with a serial number below 236,500. It must be offered by a fellow private party here in the United States. I’m only looking for one with a nice bore and in very good mechanical condition. (Model 1896/11s with serial number under 236,500 are Federally exempt antiques.) I am not looking for one in the modern serial number range. I might consider a sporterized Schmidt-Rubin Model 1896/11rifle if it was nicely done and it is priced right. And BTW, I’m also in need of 10 to 20 original brown cardboard stripper clips (“chargers”) for Swiss 7.5mm Schmidt-Rubin rifles, as well as some SIG AMT or SIG 510-4 20-round .308 magazines. I could also use some SIG PE-57 24-round magazines if they are early production, with steel followers. Please e-mail me if you have any of the aforementioned items for sale. Thanks!
