Even if the bolt has the forward locking lugs of the 1896, it’s best to stick to GP1890 pressures. The stock was also not built to withstand the heavier recoil of GP11 and I’ve seen quite a few with repaired wrists.
@@thebotrchap Thanks for the reply, bud! Wikipedia's article states this rifle fires 7.5x55, which I attribute to GP11. Glad to know someone with your level of expertise helped to clarify.
Hi bloke on a range Can you help ,I have a 97 cadet rifle and a place on my f.a.c. for a 7.5 . I can sort out the case out from a 7.5x55 to 7.5 x53.5 . I,am looking for bullet information ,size ,caliber power load what can be used safely in this rifle today. What option of bullet can be used .at a range of 100ys in lead . Can you help. Paul P.s enjoyed your talk on the Swiss rifle
There seem to be a large number of the 1889 rifle on the market these days . Are you certain the action will handle up to 50000psi pressure from the GP11?
Once I''ve done the 1908 trials. Sorry, life's been hectic for a while now, and it's been difficult to produce "bookwork" videos as a result. It's still in the pipeline, but you'll have to be patient I'm afraid.
@@BlokeontheRange It seems o be taking you a very LONG time ,Michael Burns. We have to rely on other You tube Swiss rifle videos who think the 1889 is a "Black Powder" rifle .
@@davidpotter8722 I've got several videos you can show to people who think the 1889 is a black powder rifle. There's no new information on this point that will appear in any future video on the series :)
I find that kind of humorous. GP90 (or at least the "equivalent" I load for my 1889) is already a powderpuff cartridge, yet they downloaded it for the cadets. But no reduced load for the much harder recoiling GP11? Odd decision.
I dearly would love to get my hands on a straight pull swiss, but that cadet rifle looks like it would be a hoot!! i do wonder why they didn't go a 22lr chambered rifle for training or cadets (or is that to come??)
well, the swiss produced some good marksmen so they must of done something right from a young age also, many thanks to your good self, and the chap for some wonderful content, and information
very enjoyable thanks for making this film
Interesting rifle.Looks like it would be fun to shoot.
I bet firing GP90 out of that little gun resulted in a hefty punch in the shoulder.
Can the reduced power 7.5x55 Swiss cartridge be substituted with GP11? Or is it too hot for this rifle?

Hello, is it the one that also exists in .22lr ?
Did this (and the 1900 short rifle) have a different length sling than the standard rifles?

Thanks this can help
One question did you have a mould made or re size a 303 say down to the right caliber .
Thanks
Paul
Any chance you are going to take this rifle to the range and post a video of it actually being shot? Also how rare are these rifles?

This video is not about the 1889 rifle. Don't fire GP11 in an 1889 (even though we know due to a screwup that they'll take a CIP 7.5x55 proof firing).
When will you get around to the '96/11 ???? And the pressure variances in all these Swiss rifles?

When will there be a video on the,96/11
When I get there ;)

can you fire gp11 out of this rifle?
No
Did this rifle use a different receiver to the ordinary magazine rifle?
Yes, it has a closed bottom as you can see.
I imagine if there is, you will eventually talk about it, but is there a "cadet" rifle based off either the K11 or K31 that fired GP11?
Was there a reduced "cadet" load for the K11/K31?

Nice video Bloke! are you still living in UK or in switzerland?
Good Choice! I live in Italy! and just like you, i make gun review on my channel! =D
I dearly would love to get my hands on a straight pull swiss,
but that cadet rifle looks like it would be a hoot!!
i do wonder why they didn't go a 22lr chambered rifle for training or cadets (or is that to come??)
they do have conversion kits for them for indoor ranges
I was referring to the cadet force
I hate to break it to you but they did have conversion kits for the L98A1 CGP rifles
well, the swiss produced some good marksmen so they must of done something right from a young age
also, many thanks to your good self, and the chap for some wonderful content, and information
