I just bought a Swiss K11 carbine and it looks good in the pictures. The gun also has an intact troop tag.
The serial number indicates it is converted to a K11 from a 1905 or at least that's what I think happened. I'll have the gun in a week. Can't wait to shoot it.
This is my first Swiss straight pull rifle; it's something totally different from red rifles.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I loved the k-11 I had, had to trade and a pump shotgun for a 7.62 AR Panther that a forum member now owns. The only drawback was the first sight setting is 300 yd. so "aim low men, there riding shetland ponies" They shoot 9" high at 100. I built up my front sight so I could hold dead on at 100. If I aim at the center of a deers neck base, I want to aim where I,m going to hit, not guess.

Well the K11 arrived yesterday. I'm kind of confused about this gun's lineage because the S/N should be for a Model 1900. I think it's a Model 00/11
The whole gun is matching, bluing is pretty worn but the bore is 10/10. Does anyone have any insight about these guns?
Sonny's tip about cheap ammo was great - Wholesale Sports still have a crap-load of it on sale so I loaded up.
