Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Crafted during the golden era of German precision firearms manufacturing at the world-renowned J.G. Anschütz factory in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia, the Model 4 smallbore target rifle represents the absolute pinnacle of pre-WWII German rimfire engineering. Built around a precision 23-inch heavy ordnance steel barrel and a rigid turn-bolt action, the Model 4 was designed to provide match-grade precision for marksmanship training, club competitions, and youth cadet instruction. Identified by the iconic script factory barrel marking and the interlaced "JGA" oval crest on the receiver ring, pre-war Anschütz rifles are world-famous for their hand-fitted tolerances, silk-smooth bolt cycles, crisp match triggers, and deep commercial bluing. Following the post-WWII destruction and division of the Zella-Mehlis firearms district, original pre-war JGA target rifles bearing commercial "Eagle/N" German nitro proofs hold premier, highly coveted status among European sporting arms and rimfire purists.
This specific example is an extraordinary, museum-grade pre-war Anschütz Model 4 target rifle manufactured in Zella-Mehlis, bearing serial number 3091. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 23-inch heavy target barrel, hooded front post sight, 200-meter tangent rear sight, full-length select European walnut stock w/ crisp hand-checkered pistol grip, and original steel buttplate. Displaying pristine ALL-MATCHING NUMBERS status, the serial "3091" is stamped identically across the receiver ring and bolt body. Presenting breathtaking aesthetic preservation, the deep German factory high-luster blued finish retains magnificent, mirror-like coverage across all steel assemblies w/ sharp "JGA" logo, Zella-Mehlis barrel script, and crisp commercial "Eagle/N" nitro proofs. Mechanically, the single-shot bolt action glides w/ signature Anschütz precision, the safety wing detents firmly, and the 23-inch .22 LR bore remains mirror-bright w/ razor-sharp rifling throughout. This 100% matching pre-war Anschütz Model 4 stands as an unrepeatable center-piece acquisition for European fine arms collectors and target rifle connoisseurs.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
