This in not typical of the other Trainers, the stock has been extended by 2″ and the bolt assembly / reassembly tool in the stock has been removed & filled in. They milled the top of the receiver, thru the insignia, for scope mounts. It also appears to have been exported to England. The left side of the receiver & barrel have been marked “NOT MADE IN ENGLAND” with a Crown R which is a London proof mark from 1868 to 1925. The bolt S/N 0779 does not match the barrel and receiver S/N 2345. It is missing the cleaning rod.

Description

Erma / Mauser K98 .22 LR Training Rifle – Serial #2345

This Erma / Mauser K98 .22 LR Training Rifle, serial number 2345, is a fine example of the German Wehrsportgewehr style rifles used for pre-military training prior to and during WWII. Built by Erma under the Mauser banner, this rifle closely mirrors the full-size K98k service rifle in both form and function, but is chambered in .22 Long Rifle for low-cost, low-recoil marksmanship training.

It features a full-length hardwood stock, standard Mauser-style tangent rear sight, hooded front sight, and a smooth bolt-action mechanism. The rifle retains its military profile, including sling mounts and bayonet lug, making it a desirable collectible for both Mauser enthusiasts and WWII historians. These trainers were used by the Hitler Youth and other organizations to prepare young shooters for eventual service with the German armed forces.

Whether you’re a collector or a shooter looking for a piece of history with functional range potential, this .22 LR Mauser-style trainer offers classic German engineering in a rare rimfire package.
