A .22 single-shot rifle with double triggers and 24.75" bull barrel.No sights except a ~7" long scope rail with 3 screws, including one for elevation-similar shape to a Picatinny rail,but scaled down to .22 size.The largest part of the bolt ass'y is stainless.Very smooth action.Got it in 1980 or so.
Under the scope rail, is marked 'Waffenfabrik Walther Ella Mehlis (thur)' and one the left side of the barrel, the word 'Nitro'.
Serial # 20464.
When I checked Google, there was a similar .22 rifle, made in ?1939? but it had a birch stock; mine is walnut...and it was drilled/tapped for factory sights.I believe they called it a 'trainer rifle'.
Bore is bright;no rust.
Bluing is ~80%.No rust.
Wood is ~80%.Few scratches;no cracks.
Shoots any .22 short,long,long rifle but the scope is junk (crosshairs loose!)so can't tell much about accuracy.Don't shoot much rimfire,so haven't replaced the scope.
Any info?
Thanx!
