This video from Forgotten Weapons, featuring Ian McCollum, delves into the rare Swiss M1900 Short Rifle and M1905 Cavalry Carbine. It highlights their development stemming from the M1896 Schmidt-Rubin action, designed to overcome the impracticality of earlier carbine designs. The expert presentation emphasizes the distinct features and intended roles of each carbine, contrasting them with later K11 models and explaining their rarity due to military conversions.
The Swiss K11 Carbine, chambered in 7.5x55mm Swiss, offers excellent value as a surplus military rifle, often found in great condition due to Swiss neutrality. Its straight-pull bolt action is smooth, and the 2.5 lb two-stage trigger aids accuracy. The rifle features robust Swiss manufacturing, a 6-round detachable magazine, and tangent leaf sights.
