German Deutsches Sportmodell 22 Trainer Rifles - Preparing for War

[@richardmattix5322]

Here we are 80 years after ww2 and we still talk about the quality of the German made rifles.

[@Kaktus965]

I bought a KKW from Simpson about a year ago. They’re beautiful guns and still fun to use today.

[@mag318]

These German training rifles are fascinating and once you get into them it can become addictive. Robert Simpsons book is a must and apparently you've been in his basement. His shop is like a museum.

Ja Air rifles, I also have an ES350, 22 Mauser I love it and its very accurate.

[@usna98]

Great video. A while back I got a Norinco TU-33/40 (a KKW clone) as a "throw-away" (i.e. basically got it for free) in a lot of guns I won at an auction. The .22 trainers are pretty neat.

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

Oh yes they are SO COOL but hard to find and quite EXPENSIVE. I remember when the Chinese 22lr trainers came here back in the 70's late I believe, LONG TIME AGO.🤔😯 They were selling for $59.95 but needed a bit of TLC (surface rust). I wish I had bought one back then.😱😉😁 I later got a BRNO #1 which was VERY NICE. SAD that I sold it later, don't see them either or QUITE EXPENSIVE.😮😢

I own one ES 350B Mauser. I had an additional target stock built for it . A select walnut stock mimicking the M87 McMillan target stock. But using also some Anschutz features as well. Yeah. Was costly. But I never had any qualms about this expenditure. I think it arrived to Washington state via a WW2 veteran. It was sold to a Canadian. Sometime in the 1970s(?) it was reblued. So I am the second Canadian owner. I hope sincerely it stays within my family. Birthed in 1936.

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

NICE VIDEO, VERY NICE DELUXE Mauser ES 340B Trainer. I was FORTUNATE to get one of the standard models in GREAT CONDITION considering its age. Mine is not quite as nice but very close. It's AMAZING the QUALITY of materials and WORKMANSHIP that went into making it. I LOVE IT. They don't make them like this anymore it would be COST PROHIBITED. KEEP SHOWING NEAT 22lr rifles.😉😁😁😁

[@mickonanisland4281]

Enjoyed your video, I noticed the difference in the loading ports of your dsms, the ERMA being made prior to 1936 and the Mauser 1936 or later.

[@KentuckyLasslo]

Great video, well done sir! 👏👏👏

[@natesmith5393]

Great video as always. As a longtime fan of milsurps & airguns, I for one would be quite interested in a review of your Mauser air rifle....Kind regards and keep up the great work.

[@silverandgoldfan]

Great video. Didn’t even know these were around. would be cool to take my kid to the range with one of these. As for the air rifle, yes pls

[@brettbaker5599]

I think CZ still makes their Trainer rifle, but it's not a K98k clone.

[@boltforward3611]

When it comes to 22LR Rifles, I really wish there was enough drive and financial incentive to recreate all of our favorite WW2 guns on a 1/1 identical scale/build! They did this with the STG44 in 22lr, and those guns are affordable, fun to shoot, and look pretty good!

[@peten6691]

This is my favorite format of your videos. Very informative, typically on rifle I’m not too familiar with. I have trying to find a “translation” for the German script letter prefixes for serial numbers. My guess is it may be in Robert Ball’s book but I haven’t picked one up yet. Any ideas?

[@hawkeyeinthehouse2995]

Just wanted to get back and ASK a QUESTION about an earlier variation of what you were showing on your interesting video. It's looks like an ES340B Trainer, but the stock is DIFFERENT. The stock is trimmer than the trainer and had checkering on the pistol grip and forearm, the receiver is NOT groved for mounting a scope. The receiver on the bolt handle side says it is a SPORTER in German. Are you familiar with this variation?!!!! Thank you again for your interesting video. 😊😊

[@deandepew7455]

I had a 22lr abaptor barreled action that you removed the bolt from a k98k Mauser this adaptor barreled action slid into the 98 action and the barrel went all the way down the k98k 8mm barrel you removed the floor plate and mag. Spring and follower and it had a 10 round 22 lr mag

[@swatmaster68]

Another interesting bit of info not mentioned is that these rifles were subsidized by the Government., which is why/how they were sold at the price they were. 39 Reichsmarks was still fairly expensive, but the government subsidy drastically lowered the price, and guaranteed a profit to the manufactures. That is also why so many companies were involved...guaranteed money from the Government.

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Yes, German air rifle trainer, please.

[@desertpiggiehunters9790]

Those trainers are still beautiful rifles

[@farmoci]

Great Video. I have a Geco DSM that is in great condition but is missing the bolt. Any ideas on how to find one a replacement? It would be fun to shot it . . .

[@briangalipeau553]

Great video! Could you please do a takedown video on the springfield m1922 trainer!

[@paulstrait4590]

I have one of these but mine is Military version and has a lot of strange markings and a cartouche or however u spell that

[@ianumeric]

I would also like to see the German air rifle trainer, please.

[@ahmadmasalumeambo6051]

how to buy weapons at gun broker???

[@NickYatesFH45]

Is that a SMLE MkI I see down there?

[@MilsurpWorld]

Yes it is instagram.com/p/COtz7bBrgar/?

[@NickYatesFH45]

@@MilsurpWorld dope I didn’t even realized I already like the post. My Mk I is a highlight in my small collection. Great vid btw I have a friend who may actually have one of these but it’s covered in rust

[@charlesfinely8144]

Geez Danny. Is there anything you don't have?!

[@MilsurpWorld]

Lots unfortunately

[@amym828]

32 minutes of talking about the rifle, but no shooting footage?

[@MilsurpWorld]

That's pretty much been the norm for my videos the past couple years.

[@samanthahansen9138]

First! 🥰

[@Wicked505]

Beat me lol

[@dongoudeau6084]

I own a Gustav Genschow & Co AKT. Ges. ABTL. Waffenfabrik Berlin-Treptow - can't seem to find anything about it

[@TickleMeOsama]

Really wish you would’ve shown the disassembly of the extractor, it seems to be different enough from a k98 that it requires a different way of coming off. I’m trying to do a full cleaning and got stuck here

[@GayActorMichaelDouglas-zd2fo]

I’ve been missing your uploads. How has fatherhood been treating you?

[@MilsurpWorld]

It's been a trip
