Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The W+F Bern Model 1911 Carbine (K11) is a compact, well-built, straight-pull bolt-action carbine chambered in 7.5×55mm Swiss that delivers the accuracy and robustness the Swiss service rifles are known for in a shorter, more maneuverable package. This example features a 23" blued barrel, winged blade front and adjustable rear sights, and a smooth hardwood stock—appointments that give it practical sighting for typical Swiss service ranges and a solid, ergonomic handling feel. The straight-pull bolt offers fast, positive cycling and reliable extraction, making the K11 a capable little rifle for both precision shooting and general service use.

Historically, the K11 was developed to meet the needs of support troops, cavalry, and other units that required a shorter, lighter arm without sacrificing the performance of the full-size service rifle. Produced by Waffenfabrik Bern, the carbine’s popularity helped point the way toward the later K31 design; many K11 production efforts included conversions of earlier short-rifle models to the newer specification, which makes untouched original short rifles increasingly uncommon. Today, the K11 is valued both as a practical, accurate straight-pull carbine and as an important link in the evolution of Swiss infantry arms.
