TFBTV: Swiss Schmidt-Rubin M1889: A “Semi-Smokeless” Rifle

    Posted in Rifles, TFBTV by with 13 Comments

    Mike takes a look at a very old Swiss favourite, about which much incorrect information abounds – the Schmidt-Rubin M1889 rifle in 7.5×53.5mm GP90 calibre. A smokeless calibre. Yes, you heard that right – smokeless. Turns out all the books that say “semismokeless” are wrong. Who knew? (Yes, this is one of Mike’s favourite dead horses to flog)

    Mike was lucky enough to go to a school with a 25 yard smallbore range, only 25 minutes from the centre of British shooting at Bisley, and had a firearms certificate before he had a driver’s license. Moving to a more gun-friendly country has allowed him to service his milsurp habit. He lives up in the mountains in Switzerland and vlogs at YouTube as Bloke on the Range. He can be reached at mike@tfb.tv.
