Antique SWISS Model 1871 VETTERLI STUTZER Bolt Action 11mm SNIPER Carbine High 12 Round Capacity with STECHER Double Set Triggers
Description: Antique SWISS Model 1871 VETTERLI STUTZER Bolt Action 11mm SNIPER Carbine High 12 Round Capacity with STECHER Double Set Triggers Here we present an antique Swiss Vetterli Model 1871 Bolt Action Military Sniper Carbine, made circa 1871/72 at the Cantonal Arsenal in Vaud, Switzerland. This rifle is the the Stutzer (carbine) variant of the 1871 rifle that was used to equip the Scharfschützen (sniper) companies of the army. The Stutzer carbines were equipped with a sensitive Stecher double set trigger action allowing a very low trigger pressure to fire the rifle and featured a shorter 30 inch barrel. The Vetterli rifles were a series of Swiss army service rifles in use from 1869 to 1889, when they were replaced with the Schmidt-Rubin rifles. The Vetterli rifles combined the American Winchester Model 1866's tubular magazine with a regular bolt featuring for the first time two opposed rear locking lugs. This type of bolt was a major improvement over the simpler Dreyse and Chassepot bolt actions. The Vetterli was also the first repeating bolt-action rifle to feature a self-cocking action and a small caliber bore. Due to the Swiss Federal Council's early 1866 decision to equip the army with a breechloading repeating rifle, the Vetterli rifles were, at the time of their introduction, the most advanced military rifles in Europe. Swiss inventor and gun maker Johann-Friedrich Vetterli designed this rifle in the late 1860s. The years leading up to the 20th Century were characterized by rapidly progressing small arms designs, especially those for bolt action rifles, but for a short period of time, the Vetterli could claim the title for most advanced. Modified Vetterlis were also used by the Italian Army. This Swiss military rifle held 12 rounds of 11mm centerfire cartridges, giving it a lot of firepower. The overall condition is very good. The action is strong with a smooth bolt. The bore is bright. The stock is solid with nice large checkering on the forearm. A very neat and early bolt action rifle! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 inches. Caliber: 11mm Centerfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1325 #201739 SOLD Antique: Yes |
