You are bidding on a Unique Schmidt-Rubin Pattern 1889 7.5x55 G90 Straight Pull Rifle. This rifle features a 30" barrel, 12 round magazine, leather sling, brass muzzle cap, stacking rod, walnut stock, 2000m adjustable sights, and blue'd finish. Officially adopted in 1889, the Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889 was the result of several years of testing. In 1882 Eduard Rubin began testing the first small-caliber copper-jacketed bullet which could successfully withstand high velocities. In 1885, this round was combined with Rudolf Schmidt's first straight-pull action. The straight-pull action relied upon an actuating rod, set in a channel to the right of the breech, to rotate the bolt though a helical channel cut in the bolt sleeve. Twin locking lugs were positioned midway through the bolt sleeve, locking the bolt into the receiver directly above the trigger. Over the next three years both the rifle design and cartridge were refined. The final result was adopted on June 26, 1889. This rifle is in good condition, with little wear except for storage and handling marks. The mechanics are tight, and show good function. The bolt stop lever is broken but functioning. The bore is bright and have good strong rifling. This is a antique firearm. NO FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 29849. All visible numbers match.
