BSW Suhl Model W625 .22 LR Bolt-Action Training Rifle – Serial #195030
This BSW Suhl Model W625 is a pre-WWII German bolt-action training rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle, serial number 195030. Manufactured by Berlin-Suhler Waffenwerke (BSW) in Suhl, Germany during the 1930s, the W625 was developed for civilian marksmanship and paramilitary training, designed to mirror the handling of full-size military rifles.
This rifle features a solid hardwood stock, Mauser-style bolt action, and adjustable iron sights—often including a tangent rear sight and hooded front post. The W625 was commonly used by shooting clubs and youth organizations such as the Hitler Youth, providing cost-effective training with rimfire ammunition.
The high serial number indicates later production within the W625 series. Rifles in this category may bear Nazi-era proof marks or cartouches, adding to their historical and collectible appeal.
Whether you’re a vintage firearms enthusiast or a collector of German military trainers, this BSW Suhl W625 is a historically significant and well-built rimfire rifle that represents a key piece of Germany’s pre-war shooting legacy.
