Seller says:

Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889, 7.5MM Swiss icon

caliber, early gun, 30.5 inch barrel, all matching serial numbers, including magazine. Lever next to mag is the mag cut-off, bore is clean and sharp. This is the early action with the locking lugs at the back of the bolt, apparently it was considered rather weak by later model standards. As the gun developed the locking lugs were moved forward on the bolt and eventually the bolt became shorter. Do your research on this one you will find it is a very rare gun.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

A nice example, but over-priced by $250-300 IMO.

Lots of demand for the K31 by shooters, but there doesn't seem to be very strong collector interest in the Swiss icon

stuff (Peabody's, Vetterlis and Schmidt-Rubins). I'm an exception - I love the Swiss stuff (even their bayonets are beauts).
