This is one of my favorites.
The Mosin Nagant WZ 48.
A Polish single shot trainer in calibre .22 LR.
It’s just plain fun to shoot this rifle.
It’s a great shooter too.
2” groups at 25 meters and 3” groups at 50 meters.
The rifle can perform better, it's the shooter that can't.
I haven’t had the chance to shoot it at 100 meters, but I will one of these days.
It did take some time to find the right ammo for it.
I started of with MagTech, but the bullets landed all over the place.
I also had a lot of misfires with this ammo.
I also tried “Swartclip”, South African ammo.
This wasn’t a success either.
CCI and American Eagle performed great at 25 and 50 meters.
I think I will try American Eagles at 100 meters, because this is high velocity ammo and it performed great in my Anschutz .22 rifle.
Here are some pictures.
IMHO this is a real trainer.
The rear and front sight are a copy of the Mosin Nagant M44.
So is the trigger and the weight of the rifle.
The bolt is a different story though.
It looks more like a Mauser type of bolt.
The ejector system is one I haven’t seen on any other rifle.
I know there are other rifles that use this very same system, but I haven’t seen one except on the WZ 48.
All I can say is that I have enjoyed this rifle from the minute I bought it.
Met vriendelijke groet,
