German vertical block breechloading Zimmerstutzen parlor gun in 4mm (likely to be kurz). Barrel was 8.15x46R and has been converted to a 4mm breechloader, with the marking of "7.6mm" and an earlier serial number. The serial number is now "628" and is present on the barrel, receiver front, and the diopter sight assembly. No import marks. Octagonal matted barrel has the 11mm sight rail, and the correct front sight assembly with the removable sight, which is missing its sight release. Most of the barrel is a false muzzle loading size, and only about six inches of the barrel for the 4mm cartridge is at the breech. Two Unertl scope bases are mounted to the barrel via two screws each. Diopter sight with disc insert is mounted on the rear tang, and is fully adjustable. Receiver, trigger guard, butt plate, and sight assembly have case hardening. Walnut stock has checkering on the grip, and the forearm has light checkering. Butt plate is of the standard Schuetzen style. Sling swivel is mounted on the barrel, but the one on the stock is missing. CONDITION: Rifle is overall very good and retains 80-85% of its original brown finish, and approximately 45% of its case hardening with freckling. Wood has light dings and scratches. Front sight sight is missing its release lever. Bore is bright, set triggers function properly, and rifle is mechanically sound. WEZ
