Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 straight pull rifle, with 30" barrel, 6 round magazine, graduated rear sight, blade front sight, rounded buttplate. Due to transitioning to a more powerful cartridge, beginning in 1913 the Model 1896 rifles were converted to 1896/11s by replacing or modifying the action and barrel, the sights, and the stock by grafting a wooden pistol grip. Matching serial number "313274" on barrel, receiver, bolt, and magazine; "274" on buttplate and trigger guard. Stock with added pistol grip and early serial number "26371" and "BERN". NOTE: Most firearms made after 1898 require passing an FFL background check prior to transfer. The date of production for this gun makes it subject to FFL rules. Please be prepared with proper identification and information. If you do not reside in Tennessee, an FFL dealer in your state is required to complete the transfer.

Condition

Missing upper handguard, rear and fore barrel bands, fore sling swivel; stock is shortened at fore; bolt handle is chipped; stock shows drip trails from liquid
