7.5x55 Swiss?

Question

3 questions.
1.) How hard is it to find a replacement stock for a Schmidt-Rubin?
2.) How expensive is a wood stock for one?
3.) Who else makes the ammo other than Hornaday and Wolf?

Answer 1

Replacement stocks are tough to find. There were no arsenals jam packed full of spare parts. Any stock you find probably came off another K-31. Most are in similar condition with high wear on the butt stock.

I haven't seen many for sale lately to quote you a price but I would think between $50-$100 depending upon if it has been sporterized, refinished, or how good of original quality it may be in. There is one on ebay now out of Switzerland, opening bid is $1 but shipping to USA is $38.

Ammo, there is in addition to those 2 you mentioned: Norma, RUAG GP11 (surplus but great), FNM, and Prvi

Answer 2

A superb rifle and caliber. I have two of them. For target shooting and plinking get the military ammo; it is very accurate. Those are the only two manufacturers of soft point ammo I have found myself. When it gets cold and nasty I am going to set down and reload some of my saved brass; I just hate to do it in the summer when it is nice outside. For a stock check with Numrich arms in West Hurley, New York, aka GUN PARTS CORPORATION. Sarco may have some stocks, too. Final thought; Google it and check for stocks. I just looked at Numrich and didn't see anything at first glance. Google stocks & Schmitt Ruben; there are a lot of them in circulation and there has to be stocks available somewhere!!!!

Answer 3

1 & 2. They're getting pretty rare, check out Numrich arms:

3. Check Norma. If you reload, you can neck up the
more popular 65.x55 to 7.5 for cases.

Answer 4
