This is art.
Agreed.
Greetings cousin Henry.
Easly one of the best straight pull of its time with a fantastic cartidge !
The best, the steyr 1895 and ross are flawed by design ( and needed the k31 update) and the lee navy 1895 is an odd ball ( not really a straight pull btw) with an overly complicated design.
Pay in mind I owned both of them, but I mzy have forgot other pre k31 designs tho...
K11 was pretty bad compared to the g11 and k31.
@@Foche_T._Schitt yep, barrel harmonics aren't top notch on the k11 so 300m snobs couldn't compete as efficiently.. but compared to the potential accuracy of a 8x50mannlicher steyr 1895 it's a laser beam, and dtill outshoots most military ross variations
''So smooth'' .....and there you have it; another flawless presentation by the one and only Mae! She makes it look so easy and enjoyable, all at the same time!
Shut up
0:53 "Had Switzerland participated in the Great War, I don't think they would've been able to afford mass-producing these."
Had Switzerland participated in the Great War, they need only have fired twice and gone home.
^ This ^
I have one of these. When they say "fine Swiss craftsmanship," they aren't kidding.
Every time I see the Schmidt-Rubins, I have a heart attack over the charger clip, because my eyes keep telling me it’s rusty metal.
In Switzerland, even the cardboard is over-engineered.
@@TammoKorsai The charger clips are pretty pricey as well.
Finally, the 1911 episode.
What a cracking weapon,classic Swiss precision
Picked one of these up a few weeks ago. Incredibly smooth action and trigger pull.
I have one of those and it's one of my top favorites to take to the range.
Love it! One of my favorite rifles to take to the range
Thanks Mae, Brilliant keep them coming, Cheers from Oz
Great shooting and a great review by a great lady ❤️
Anyone else just watch the min of mae videos i love these
God I love all the Swiss straight pulls. More please! Couple more years we'll get to the k31🤘
Buttery smooth action
I regret not buying one 2008 my loss
that ring looking handle looked odd to me .
As always good demos 👍🏾👍🏾
I’m surprised more systems didn’t make use of a cardboard charger like these.
I am lucky enough to have one. I also have the K31. The K11 is my favorite. It shoots very accurately and smoothly as she says. Better even than a 1903 Springfield or a 1917 Enfield. Great engineering and metal.
I had one each too and traded a guy my 31 for another 11 with some very pretty wood. I really like the 11s much more .
I got to shoot one of these last weekend. Sadly, I did not look as good as Mae. It was a great experience.
Love this!
Another wonderful Swiss straight pull rifle. 🇨🇭 ❤️
Mae! Mae! Mae!
You can operate the bolt while on safe, by pressing down on the right side of the safety ring while pulling back
I have one of these, from my grandfather, mine doesnt have front sight sings tho.
Stuff like this makes me wish for an alternate history game like The New Order and The New Colossus, but where Switzerland fought in WW1.
Thank You, Mae 🙂🇨🇿
I don't have a Karabiner, though I want one. I really do like my full size 1911 more than my K31.
I traded a fair condition K31 for a VG K11 , and never had regrets . That K11 is my favorite surplus gun by a long shot .
K31 is more accurate though. In switzerland we mostly dont use the k11 for competition
@@ferdblu1946
G11's and 96/11's were just as accurate. K11 barrel harmonics were terrible.
I've seen my fair share of shot out k31's. People generally don't check the throat and don't know the bullet can yaw when it's washed out.
@@ferdblu1946for knocking out coyotes on my farm in Oklahoma the K11 is more than adequate .
I honestly thought this would have been some very early design of a straight pull rifle and would have been made in the 1890s or 1880s.
Edit: I should have done research before I wrote this because apparently, the first of these was made in 1889 as stated by Wikipedia. So, turns out I was actually right.
So cool.
This honestly looks to be the fastest bolt action I’ve ever seen.
It's the feeding that will make you fall in love . Nothing smoother.
@@NCrdwlf(Ross bolt is a bit smoother)
Great video
Thanks Mae!
The only 1911 we need.
Its beautiful..
I like these.
Lovely
This rifle is my favorite of the 5 that l own. The K31 is thicc girl compared to the 1911K but has a more useable rear sight, starting at 100m rather than 300m. But I've learned to hold at the belt buckle to get a com hit on idpa silhouettes.
Karabinerlets seeth and cope before the mighty G96/11
Sweet swiss!
C H I L E A N M A U S E R P L S
Send Othais an email offering yours, he’ll get to them eventually
Is it that revolutionary?
Big Fan of Mae !
Sweet. I'd love one of these.
Nicely done
Mass production of this rifle / carbine isn't the issue that comes to mind, if Switzerland had participated in World War I. How this weapon would have performed in the trenches is the issue. Most straight pulls didn't fair too well. The Ross (from what Othais has shown us) had multiple other issues, but the Schmidt Ruben seems to have gotten it to work well enough. Still... with all that precision engineering, I wonder if the tight tolerances would wind up being this weapon's undoing in the Western Front muck and mud.
It is good to see her working it from the shoulder, but she is still winking when aiming.

Yay A min of Mae 💚💚
This has to be the smoothest stripper clip loading I've seen so far.
Straight pulls are so satisfying.
Straight pull rifles are just 👌
Even the new ones?
@@oneofthoseguys2019
Usually new ones like the Merkel are high end and focus on slick actions.
The M93/95's were pretty terrible to disassemble and assemble.
(Insert "C&Rsenal finally made a 1911 video" joke here.)
It's not about quantity,but about quality.
If this was in a common caliber, I'd love to own one. But I ain't chasing obscure calibers....any more...
Lots of GP11 came into the US back in the day and even as late as the 2000s, but it's thin on the ground these days. PPU does make a loading that can be run in these as well as K31s.
Straight pull bolt . Such an interesting mechanism idk of i prever the normal bolt action or Straight pull especially when it comes to satisfaction . Still a really cool firearm
Mine is a 1917 built beauty.
Saw one for $800 CAD at a local shop. Unfortunately the ammo is entirely impossible to get around here so I had to pass it up
I know basic bolt actions are much easier and simpler than straight pulls, but there's something so beautiful about that action.
Easier? Simpler? Really? Have you shot anything Swiss?
@@tacfoley4443 Yes I have. From a manufacturing and mechanical standpoint though, a bolt action is much simpler. Lot less parts to make sure the rifle is safely locked in battery before firing. From an operating standpoint, I've yet to fire another bolt action from that era that is as smooth and enjoyable to shoot (certainly not the Mosin.)
@@wrenchinator9715 I have a number of bolt-action rifles, and three Swiss, and I'm not convinced that I could shoot faster with a bolt than with a straight-pull. Mind you, I've been practicing since 1989, although I shot my first Swiss in 1962 on a school trip to CH. I've never managed to shoot either system from an unlocked breech, though.
@@tacfoley4443 I'm not talking about working the bolt, I'm talking about designing and building the rifle. A bolt action is less complicated than a straight pull, that's all I was saying.
Love the Swiss rifles k31 my favorite
A piece of swiss art
If the Swiss HAD fouhht in ye Great War, mass production O' rifles wouldn't have been an issue, 'cause EVERY man would've already owned one!
As an aside, due to some non-serious health issues, I gave my K11 to an old dear friend to hunt MO whitetails with! I expect success due to the exceptional trigger and innate accuracy built into every one! Interestingly, I was able to buy mine from one of the better mil-surp dealers, the Mosin Crate, who sold me a combat engineers model w/a matching #, sawback bayonet & of course a matching magazine as well as a slip of paper under the buttplate w/ the original owner's name & cetra.
If you can find one, highly recommended, wonderful firearms, w/ a fit & finish to rival anything made contemporaneously!
That is a beautiful rifle.
I do not have a clever comment handy, so pretend I do.
Your user name suffices in terms of cleverness!
Love it
The safety might be slow but at least you can operate it while wearing heavy alpine winter gloves
Gorgeous.... The guns really nice too.
I passed up buying a minty looking one of these 30 some years ago because there was no ammo or reload components to be had for them. Fast forward a few decades and ammo and components are readily available even with the last couple years but haven't seen one of the rifles for sale locally in ages. Argh...
I own one of these beautiful rifles, mine being made in 1929, and it's the best shooter ever. all matching parts, tho the sling and the bayonet are missing, I would love to get my hands on one, but they are getting hard to find
Check with Edelweiss Arms.
I own one. A 1915 vintage
I love my K11
I picked up a K1911 a few years ago to go with my Gew 1896/11, they're lovely rifles. Unfortunately a lot of the ones I've seen here were converted to .30-30 Winchester by an importer years ago, and almost all of those ones are in horrific condition for some reason
where is here? I've only seen a few 308 sporters.
@@Foche_T._Schitt Eastern Canada, I was told that an importer in Quebec got a pile of them in the 70s. I don't think I've seen any converted to 308, oddly enough
@@danmack111
Oh. I can see that being popular in Canada or west of the Mississippi.
Outside of the usual butchered originals which fetch nothing, there were 5 or 6 built from surplus parts by a gunsmith in the US. They look exactly like milspec carbines except for the markings and 308 chamber. Those bring about 5 grand, if you ever see them for sale.
This makes me want to get together the stuff to reload for my M1889.
How about the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk V?
Muy bueno tu vídeo saludos desde Argentina
I just bought one of these about 4 months ago for $550 I felt like it was a steal
Would love to see the enfield ishapore 2a or 2a1
Wow! This rifle's safety is just like door opening and closing by a key. I wonder if this rifle could shoot faster than Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle or not.
Would they have needed to mass produce it?
Wouldn’t they just shoot twice and go home?
0:14
Rifles named rubin:
Wow, not the 1911 I was expecting
Isn’t that rifle also called „Ruck-Zuck“?
No that's an M95 Steyr. Another straight pull though!
I think that would be the Steyr-Mannlicher M95.
Greetings from Austria.
: )
The glorious time when carbines were still large rifles.
what was with the very funky striper clip
I have a 7.5×55
I will pick mine up at my FFL tomorrow, can't wait. Bbut please talk slower next time, thank you!
1911 was a pretty busy year. This.....the OTHER 1911, an apartment building down the street from my old high schools campus was built, my high schools first graduating class, my favorite president was born
What’s the difference between these and the K31, other than the name?
On the K31 the bolt is significant redesign. It is much shorter with the locking lugs moved to the front. This shortens the action by a fare amount and brings the magazine well directly in front of the trigger guard instead of way out in front of it. The extra room allows for a near rifle length barrel without the K31 being any longer than the K11. This also provides a longer sight radius making the K31 extremely accurate.
Gotta love Swiss Over-engineering every weapon in their arsenal
I've heard tales about the Swiss Maxim machine gun... that those guns were very refined, with fine blued finishing on the barrels. And that's for a gun that is stuffed into a bunker!
So good, people still use it en masse and you can get them dirt cheap everywhere with an abundance of ammunition.
Good on you Mae what a smooth rifle
Mae your original
One of the things I'll never understand is why they didn't adapt this bolt system to the Kar98K or the Mosin Nagant? even knowing that this system is much faster than the others.
Not as easy to make and more moving parts
@@shellcracker18 Do you mean that due to having many moving parts and a long time of use, this bolt system caused several jams, if you count the dirt and soot?
@@iurifaquin far more expensive to produce- more parts = more machine time = higher cost, not as simple as a Mosin or Carcano bolt, and Mausers are simpler as well
Lots of intricate machining on the bolt assembly for the K-11
👍👍👍
I don't know why the Swiss are neutral, when they produced weapons this fine.
It's the other way around, they produced weapons this fine because they're neutral.
We have a 300.000 man strong army
And what ig Germany try to invade with a 600.000 strong army?
Then, each Swiss soldier shout fire twice...
Praise the Algorithm!!!!

"Muh 1911! Muh stoppin' power! Won zero world war!"
Terrible barrel harmonics.

Not a fan of the Swiss bolt rifles had one great shooter. Just not my cup of tea.
