Mansoura Egypt .22 LR Training Rifle – Serial #2455
This Mansoura, Egypt .22 LR training rifle, serial number 2455, is a rare example of mid-20th-century military-style rimfire arms produced in Egypt, likely at the Mansoura Military Factory. Designed to replicate the feel and function of full-sized bolt-action service rifles, this trainer is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, ideal for marksmanship practice with minimal cost and recoil.
Built with a robust hardwood stock and simple bolt-action mechanism, this rifle reflects both British and continental influences in its design. These rifles were commonly used by military cadets or youth training programs in Egypt during the post-WWII period.
Due to its uncommon origin and limited availability in the U.S. market, this rifle is a unique collectible for military trainer enthusiasts or anyone interested in international small arms history. Whether displayed or fired, it’s a conversation piece with global heritage.
