Cartridge Rare
Seems I have a neat perfect Swiss Vetterlis M78?
Never knew what it was until a few days ago. It is in perfect condition, absolutely beautiful. Seems like the rifle is not that rare, but maybe something in perfect condition? The wood is spotless and the metal has not bluing missing or rust. Something I haven't come across yet, can you still buy the rimfire ammo for the gun? I seen you can convert it to centerfire but I don't want to modify something so pristine. Also, anyone know the energy, grains, and velocity of the cartridge it shoots? Thanks.

The History of the 10.4x38 Swiss Cartridge
The Model 1867/78 Vetterli Cartridge
In 1867, the Swiss government adopted the blackpowder 10.4x38 cartridge for military use. Although the 10.4x38 was one of the few rimfire cartridges to be adopted for military service, it's 313gr. bullet and muzzle velocity of over 1400fps, easily marched the performance of it's contemporaries. Amongst the rifles chambered to use the 10.4x38 were the Milbank-Amsler Series of Rifles, the 1867 Peabody, and the Vetterli series of rifles.
Currently, no one is producing the 10.4x38 Rimfire round, except, perhaps, as a special order. However, it is possible to buy formed brass from Buffalo Arms or reshape brass for use in Vetterlis which have been converted to center-fire
