How to make pics of an looong Swiss G 1911

**gunner** · 06-21-2009 01:01 PM

Hello,
today i finished the restoring of my Schmidt-Rubin Gewehr 1911. So i want took a few pics of it. No problem. Take some black cloth for the background, look for some plasticpieces (to do like John Holbrook

), checked the lights. Than took the camera and let`s go. But what the heck was this? I can only see a little more than the half of my rifle and still white socks! OK, gone downstairs took a ladder and returned. Than i gone step by step upwards the ladder by looking trough the camera. BANG! The room was lower than i had it in my mind.
Now, here are some reasonably usable pics. Otherones needs Ibuprofen for getting in prone position, i need it for taking some pics.

Regards

Gunner

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.

Good looking rifle Gunner! How does it shoot?

Thanks Lou,
the Swiss icon

Army said that it must hold max. 2" of 100 metres. And i can say they`re right. With the original ammo GP11 and a good shooter ( i am not the best ) she shoots between 1.5" and 2". For a rifle from 1916 it is famous some new rifles could`nt do better.

If only my Lee Enfields could do that good

I think only one of my refurbs (now belongs to a friend of mine) can come close to that, not in my hands though!

Great looking 1911, Gunner.

I must admit, I LOVE Swiss icon

rifles, with the 1911 and 96/11's at the top of my list. My sons and I shoot in a military silhouette match every month and usually use Swiss rifles. Amazingly accurate.

Do use the GP11, commercial or handloads in yours?

Hi Calfed nice to hear from you.
Thank you, i like it to because of the famous bolt technic and their accuracy. I use also the commercial GP11 as handloads. At time the original ammo is very cheap at here. I`ve payed 300€ ( around 400$) for 1000 of it.

Regards,

Gunner
