Lot 18123:
Schmidt Rubin K31 7.5x55 Swiss
The K31 Schmidt-Rubin Short Rifle (Karabiner Model 1931) is a very unique design that dates back to the black powder cartridge days. The original designs for the gun were adopted into service in 1889, just as Switzerland entered the era of smokeless powder. The original rifles were massive and had strange, elongated receivers fitted with 12-round magazines. The designers, Eduard Rubin and Rudolf Schmidt, came up with a complicated, oversized action that allowed a straight-pull method of operation. The rifle was ungainly, but chambered in a then-modern cartridge, the 7.5×55mm. This rifle is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of use and wear. Please see
