First Range Session Walther SportModell V : Diamond In The Rough

The Walther Sportmodell V is a pre-World War II, bolt-action .22LR training rifle made by Walther in Zella Mehlis, Germany, designed to mimic the handling of the larger K98k service rifle for German youth and paramilitary groups, becoming popular souvenirs for American soldiers after the war due to their accuracy and ease of bringing home. These rifles, part of Germany’s push to standardize marksmanship training under strict post-Versailles Treaty rules, featured a robust Mauser-style action and were widely used in the 1930s, often carrying proof marks indicating production dates before or during the war.
