Description:
Compared to the Swiss made Model 1878 the Model 1881 was equipped with an improved rear sight. Also, various steel components replaced iron components, and the 1881 continued to see improvements in metal finishing. Otherwise, it was largely identical to the 1878 Rifle. Curiously enough, even after the updates were made, the Swiss continued to mark these rifles with the M.78 stamp on the left side of the receiver. It wasn't until around 1887, that the the M.81 mark replaced the M.78 stamp. M.78 marked rifles are referred to as Model 1878/81 Rifles. The Barrel Length: 33.5 inches, Overall Length: 52 inches, Weight: 10.19 lbs empty, Chambering: 10.4x38 (.41) Swiss Rimfire, Rifling: 4 groove, RH twist, 1 in 26", Velocity: 1425 fps, Capacity: 13 (12 round tube magazine +1 in the cartridge elevator), Total Production: 37,010 Model 1878/81s 25,3000 Model 1881s, Manufacture Dates: 1882-1889 in Eidgenössische Waffenfabrik, Bern. This Model 1881 is in very fine original condition, retaining 80-85% of its original blue finish. The stock/full length forearm are in fine condition, retaining most all of their original finishes, with assorted handling marks/dings/pressure dents.
