Coming from Germany so could take 6 weeks of buggering about with paperwork but I think it will be worth the wait

Why don't you just drive there and pick it up, Europe isn't that big...

Congratulations!
Six weeks is a long wait. Quicker than a baker though

Re: Schmidt Rubin, Model G11
Sent the customs declaration off yesterday so the ball is now in their court.
Have done a little research and found that the serial stamped on the bolt, barrel and chamber is the same so the rifle was made in 1906. Total produced 6000 - Serials between 316001 & 322000, mine being 320**7.
Have ordered a Set of Lee Pacesetter dies from Henry Krank's and am about to order 40 rounds of PRVI Partisan 7.5x55 Swiss, 174 grn FMJ-BT from ESP in France. That will give me the cases to reload. Need to source some Hornady 180 grn SPBT . Powder will be VihtaVuori N140 - probably start with 40 grns.
If anyone has any different ideas let me know

One of the things I love most about milsurps is the history that there is to discover.
