Waffenfabrik Walther Sportmodell .22 LR Training Rifle (42379W)
This Waffenfabrik Walther Sportmodell is a pre-WWII German bolt-action training rifle chambered in .22 LR. Designed to simulate the size and handling of military rifles, the Sportmodell was used by German paramilitary and youth organizations in the 1930s for marksmanship training. It features a full-length hardwood stock, precision bolt-action mechanism, and adjustable tangent rear sight.
Built with classic Walther craftsmanship, this rifle offers excellent accuracy and durability, making it a favorite among collectors of German small arms. Many examples were marked with Nazi-era proof stamps or issued to the Hitler Youth, adding to their historical significance.
This model remains a sought-after collector’s piece and is a fine example of early 20th-century rimfire design rooted in military purpose and precision shooting heritage.
