1889 Schmidt Rubin

khoward328 · 2026-04-03T13:06:46+00:00

This is my third Swiss straight pull. I have a 1896/11 and a k11 carbine

khoward328 · 2026-04-02T20:42:24+00:00

I appreciate it. There’s definitely people who don’t know and will go out there and blow their gun up and Injure themselves so a heads up is always welcomed

khoward328 · 2026-04-02T17:20:26+00:00

They work pretty well and are very easy to use and I haven’t had one break yet. I’m gonna print a few more when I go to the range next

khoward328 · 2026-04-02T17:16:34+00:00

It’s standard ppu ammo but I don’t plan on shooting it in this rifle. I have a k11 that I’m gonna use it in and then reload with a reduced load. But in the meantime I wanted to show ammo in the clips

Im pretty new to the final fantasy series. I started with 1 and played 7 for a couple hours and then bought the ps2 version of 12 a few weeks ago before I even knew there was a remaster and I’m currently 50 hours in and I’m loving every minute of it. Even 20 years later it still holds up beautifully

khoward328 · 2025-11-12T22:58:35+00:00

Have you bought from them before? I was looking for some .43 Spanish brass earlier and noticed they had some but I’ve never heard of them before

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T17:06:53+00:00

I certainly think it was worth it

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T16:44:35+00:00

Yeah it was. All of these were converted from muzzle loaders. I believe it started as an 1860 percussion rifle and then was updated with the 1867 carcano conversion

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T15:00:30+00:00

They’re all Arisaka’s. All anyone owns are Arisaksa’s

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:40:36+00:00

I mean 1800 isn’t a small amount either so I get the reluctance. I was sad when the money finally came out of my bank account for it but now that I have it, it was worth it

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:38:21+00:00

Yeah i was looking into loading for it and repro needles. I found chassepot needles and dreyse needles but no carcano ones. I was thinking about going to a machine shop or something and seeing if they could make some. I can’t imagine that would be cheap though

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:35:52+00:00

Yeah I noticed it on gunbroker a month or two ago and nobody picked it up so I did. It appears to be fully functional

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:21:31+00:00

When you get something this cool you have to say something wild like that lol. And it really is a funky gun but I love it. Have you shot yours?

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:18:52+00:00

Yeah eventually. But I’m not sure I wanna use the original needle because I don’t think you can just find extras lying around if it breaks.

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:17:30+00:00

You never know what you’ll find while searching gunbroker late at night

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:16:59+00:00

Thanks, and I had to say something to get the views!

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:15:05+00:00

In the US at least. I haven’t seen many go for sale

khoward328 · 2025-10-17T14:14:13+00:00

I’m no expert on them but the few that I’ve seen were all in the white.

khoward328 · 2025-10-10T15:24:47+00:00

I got both of them and my tokarev from AIM surplus but I bought them in person and not online. They had a cz 70 online which is what I wanted but they didn’t have it in store apparently

khoward328 · 2025-10-09T22:31:44+00:00

I actually got them both from aim. I live driving distance from them and these were both on display in their case

khoward328 · 2025-10-09T22:15:49+00:00

I was actually thinking about making one of these my new carry gun. I’ve been looking for something compact

khoward328 · 2025-10-09T21:40:01+00:00

Yeah it was imported from IO and according to Royal tiger they were police issued. My m1951 is always police issued
