Walther KKM International Match

[Loose}{Cannon]

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.

That's fine looking Cannon. I was thinking also how cool it would be to watch a stock-maker cutting out one of these.

We are tack-driving excitement   
1 oz!?    How do you operate that? Keep your finger resting on the inside bottom of the trigger guard then think *squeeze* when you're all lined up?

[Loose}{Cannon]

The trigger is fully adjustable and can go heavier, but its just something you get used to and are very careful when putting your finger back into position.

We have all heard of people speaking figuratively of just breathing on a trigger to release it...in this case that could be done!

I know what you mean Cannon. I would choke down, drop the rifle and shoot myself in the foot!
