Those 1889 Schmidt-Rubins He has do have a nice come-hither look...
Yes they do, but I'm curious... it says they are chambered in 7.5x53, not 7.5x55 which is what the model 1911's and K31's are chambered in, so I'm not sure if they really are two different rounds, or just different nomenclature for the same round, kind of like how 7.65 Argentine is sometimes referred to as 7.65x53 and 7.65x54 interchangeably.
According to my "Cartridges of the World", the 1889 rifles were built with a bore diameter of 0.299", and the Swiss changed to the .308" diameter for the 1911.
1887 Martini Enfields are rifles with real history, .

IIRC those old 1889 swiss shoot the GP90 while the K11, K31 and so on shoot the GP11 stuff.
Aren't the Martini Enfields chambered in .303 British? I thought 577/.450 ammo was dropped with the Martini Henry.1887 Martini Enfields are rifles with real history, they are around in various conditions. 450x577 ammo and good rifeling can be a challenge to find though.
