This is a sporterized Vetteri that has had a conversion done to change it from Rimfire
to Center Frire .. Making is a whole lot easier to make the ammo for it.

Barrel has be reduced to 26 in long and front wood has been removed.
Gun is not a whole lot lighter and shorter than originally made.

Condition is very good for a gun this old - Gun was made between 1869 & 1889

The .41 Swiss (officially the 10.4x38mmR Swiss cartridge used in the Swiss
Vetterli M69/81 rifle) is a .415 in (10.5 mm) Swiss military rimfire bottlenecked
intermediate rifle cartridge.

In 1867, the Swiss military adopted the 10.4×38mmR cartridge. As one of the few
rimfire cartridges to see military service, the 313 gr (20.3 g) bullet and 1,400 ft/s
(430 m/s) was respectable compared to its contemporaries.
