An "ORIGINAL" MODEL 50 .22 Air Rifle 19955. - 19955 A German ''Original'' model 50 .22 cal. underlever action air rifle (production began back in the 1953 and did not stop until the 80s; so, a long heritage and production standards were always kept to a high standard), with 'Tap Loader', with a waterproof 4x32 telescopic sight. There is no serial number apparent. It is fitted with unmarked chequered wooden stock with a lovely unusual grain and hard rubber butt plate *original will come as the package*. The rifle is 45 inches overall. The model 50 is an underlever spring-piston air rifle that came in both .177 and .22 calibres, with the .22 not being as common, since the 50 was seen as a target gun and Europeans were already using .177 calibres for that. Maybe .22 was a nod toward marketing Americans, with whom the larger calibre was much more favoured. The 50 was made between 1952 and 1965. The rifle retains around 95% of its original blueing. The butt plate and trigger guard have age related marks. Made in Germany and ‘Original Mod 50’ is marked to the cylinder. The rifle cocks, loads and fires with a nice tight action. The price includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air Weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale and delivery of this item. 19955. £395.00
