Walther KKM International Match

[MCR]

These were (top of the line) 22lr match rifles produced only 10 years after Germany's defeat in WW2. Hard to imagine how they managed to produce such a high end quality rifle when much of the country was still in ruins.

The Walther experts have dated this serial # to about 1954 which would make it a very early model. It still retains the hook butt-plate, hand-stop, and rear sight hood made of brass. It also has a grooved receiver top for easily adding a scope. The trigger adjustment is currently set at about 1oz ..... probably more like .75oz. The previous owner added a front & rear fully adjustable iris, which can be a pretty expensive upgrade to the peeps.

These rifles weigh 7.8kg or 17.2lbs from factory (18lbs plus with scope).. also cost $200 in the U.S in 1957

Believe I put a 40X scope on there with a 50mm objective lense.

Very Nice Looking Rifle


I must admit , it would ( For me ) be better with the peep sights ( Iron sights ) but some times I do shoot "F" class

Wow, this is nice. If I wanted to show off with that one, I would tack my target to the board, and 4 shots later watch the target fall to the ground. I love rimfires, but these type rifles are eyes only for me. I just shoot the older commercial bolt actions and semi autos.

Based on your dating of it, that rifle is a little older than I am. Looks a hell of a lot better though. Thanks for sharing.
