Here we have an antique Swiss Vetterli M78 Waffenfabrik Bern Rifle Chambered in .41 Swiss Rimfire, C. 1878-1880 bolt action rifle; Serial number 189312. All Visble Matching Numbers, Twelve round tubular magazine. Straight shoulder stock, and full length forearm, One barrel band, The Swiss Vetterli rifles combined the American Winchester Model 1866's tubular magazine with a regular bolt featuring for the first time two opposed rear locking lugs. This novel type of bolt was a major improvement over the simpler Dreyse and Chassepot bolt actions. The Vetterli was also the first repeating bolt-action rifle to feature a self-cocking action and a small caliber bore. Due to the Swiss Federal Council's early 1866 decision to equip the army with a breechloading repeating rifle, the Vetterli rifles were, at the time of their introduction, the most advanced military rifles in Europe. The Vetterli was the replacement for Amsler-Milbank rifles, which were a metallic cartridge conversion from previous Swiss muzzle-loading rifles.
