Mauser Rimfire 4440018 .22 LR 16.5" 26-Round Wood Stock Rifle

The Mauser Rimfire 4440018 STG-44 Full Size is a .22 LR rimfire rifle engineered as a historically accurate replica of the legendary WWII-era STG-44 assault rifle. Built with a 16.50-inch black steel barrel and robust black steel receiver, this rifle delivers the ergonomic profile and handling characteristics of the original platform scaled to rimfire specifications. The 25+1 round magazine capacity enables extended shooting sessions ideal for range training, tactical marksmanship practice, and high-round-count familiarity drills without frequent magazine changes.

The fixed black wood stock provides authentic aesthetics while maintaining the rigid support necessary for consistent sight picture during sustained fire. At 12.4 pounds with overall dimensions of 30 inches length, this rimfire platform delivers manageable weight distribution ideal for operators seeking platform-specific training without the recoil and ammunition cost of centerfire variants. The .22 LR cartridge generates minimal recoil and hearing signature, making this configuration suitable for indoor range work and low-noise training environments where hearing protection requirements are less stringent than centerfire operations.

This rifle serves shooters and trainers who require platform familiarity training, marksmanship development, or historical firearm appreciation without centerfire costs and logistics. The STG-44 rimfire configuration allows operators to practice carbine manipulation, sight picture discipline, and trigger control on a historically significant platform. Collectors and historical enthusiasts value the authentic mechanical design and period-correct appearance, while practical shooters leverage the high-capacity magazine and low-recoil characteristics for extended practice sessions focused on fundamentals rather than recoil management.
