JGA Büsche Sportmodell 4mm Long – Nazi KdF Training Rifle – Serial #8545
This JGA Büsche Sportmodell is a rare bolt-action training rifle chambered in 4mm Lang (rimfire), bearing serial number 8545. Produced in Nazi-era Germany, this rifle was part of the KdF (Kraft durch Freude / “Strength Through Joy”) program—a National Socialist initiative that promoted shooting sports and physical training as patriotic duty.
Designed for extremely low-cost indoor and short-range training, the 4mm long cartridge was used with subcaliber barrels and insert adapters. This rifle features a classic sporter-style hardwood stock, bolt-action mechanism, and simple open sights. Rifles like this were often issued to youth and civilian shooting clubs for safe, quiet marksmanship instruction.
The presence of Nazi-era markings and its unique 4mm chambering make this an uncommon and historically significant firearm. Whether you’re a collector of WWII-era German arms, rare rimfires, or KdF memorabilia, this rifle offers unique value with deep historical roots.
