JGA and Waffen-Jung Stuttgart marked 4mm trainer
I'm one of these unlucky persons which gets annoyed by other persons who bring you items. And even worse, most time I can't resist and buy the stuff. This happened today when I got offered two "training rifles". Well, the other one was quite obvious (JGA Büscher Sportmodell), but I couldn't find anything on this rifle shown below.
It is marked JGA on the receiver, but does not carry any model designation. Aside of the serial "0097" on the receiver the only other marking is atop the barrel shank saying "Waffen-Jung, Stuttgart". The rifle partially resembles JGA .22 rifles which are shown in Simpsons book, but the cutout of the stock and the receiver for the chamber is unlike anything he has shown in there. And finally the - to me weirdest feature - the "bolt release knob" can be pressed, but it has no function at all. To be able to remove the bolt you only need to hold the trigger to remove the bolt?
All is thickly in grease and some parts are even painted for protection, when I find time in the next few days to clean it I'll do better pictures than these crappy mobile phone shots. But they should show the "important details" for hopefully a proper identification.
*EDIT* after cleaning I noticed this is not a .22 rifle but a 4mm rifle!
