The Schmidt Rubin 1889 was the first firearm to benefit from the straight-pull bolt developed by Major Rubin in 1883. The ammunition used back then was not even comparable to the current Swiss 7.5; it used semi-smokeless powder, and the bullet diameter was .303, although the bullet was laterally covered with a thin layer of lubricant-impregnated paper that brought the effective diameter to .304. The firearm, equipped with a removable and decidedly protruding magazine, used the first version of the Rubin bolt; the action was rather long, and the bolt locking lugs, in a very rearward position, might have been suitable for the semi-smokeless powders of the time, which developed relatively low power, but were unsuitable for more powerful powders because they allowed excessive bolt flexion at the moment of firing. In 1896, the firearm was modified (model 1889/96) using a slightly shorter bolt with reinforced locking lugs. This serial number 97878 is in order, single serial number, with original sling and muzzle cap. Barrel marked “A. Baumann Morges”. Antique firearm. (Show description in original language)
Lo Schmidt Rubin 1889 è stata la prima arma a beneficiare dell’otturatore a trazione rettilinea sviluppato dal Maggiore Rubin nel 1883. La munizione utilizzata allora non era neppure paragonabile al 7,5 svizzero attuale; utilizzava polvere semi-infume, ed il diametro della palla era da .303, anche se la palla era ricoperta lateralmente da un sottile strato di carta impregnato di lubrificante che ne portava il diametro effettivo a .304. L’arma, dotata di caricatore amovibile e decisamente sporgente, utilizzava la prima versione dell’otturatore Rubin, l’azione era piuttosto lunga e le alette di chiusura dell’otturatore, in posizione molto arretrata, potevano essere adatte alle polveri semi-infumi di allora, che sviluppavano potenze molto relative, ma risultavano inadatte per polveri più performanti, perché consentivano una eccessiva flessione dell’otturatore all’atto dello sparo. Nel 1896 l’arma venne modificata (modello 1889/96) utilizzando un otturatore leggermente più corto con alette di chiusura rinforzate. Questo matrciola 97878 è in ordine, monomatricola, con cinghia originale e tappo coprivolata. Canna marcata “A. Baumann Morges”. Arma antica.
