| Description: |
This Rare W+F 1889/96 rifle is on of the 5000 Private pieces produced. It's in excellent mechanical and aesthetic condition. - Serial Number - #P15XX - Barrel length: 762mm - Overall length: 1295mm - Weight: 4.39kg The Schmidt–Rubin Model 1889/96 was the replacement for the 1889. The biggest change was moving the locking lugs from the rear of the bolt sleeve to the front of the bolt sleeve. This allowed the receiver to be shortened by a small amount. In addition, the change allowed the bolt and receiver to handle more pressure. Colonel Schmidt was asked to do this for the model 1889, but refused, claiming it was not possible. Colonel Vogelsgang and his assistant Rebholz worked out the details which were not complex but did require time to retool. The rifle system was adopted in 1896. As such, this and subsequent versions should probably be known more as Vogelsgang-Rebholz rifles, rather than Schmidt-Rubin. When the cartridge was modified in 1911 to increase the velocity of the bullet, the 1896 bolt system was used. Almost all the model 89/96 rifles were converted to 96/11. Only a few remain in the original configuration and almost all of those are private series rifles that were never military issue. |
