danmark .22lr schuetzen rifle (Read 6572 times)

	I just acquired a falling block .22lr schuetzen rifle. The only marking is on the barrel-GEVAERFABRIKBN OTTERUP DANMARK. If you go to -www.simpsonltd.com - Item Z8459 there is a picture that is an exact match to my rifle. Simpson lists it as a Schultz & Larsen. My rifle does not have Schultz & Larsen on it. Sorry, I can not post a picture. Can anybody tell me anything about this rifle or direct me somewhere to do some research ? Thanx Bernie In Montana

	Schultz & Larsen was indeed established in Otterup, Denmark, and made some wonderful cut-rifled barrels. I have one of their .30 cal barrels on a BSA 12/15, and it is extremely accurate. BTW, "GEVAERFABRIKBN"just means rifle factory. - there should be (have been?) something in front....

	No other marks on the rifle except the number 783. The rifle is in original condition, so I dont think any marks are missing. It is still winter in Montana so I have not been able to ring this rifle out yet, but so far I am excited about about what it can do ! I dont know if it will shoot as well as my Miller with a .22lr RKS barrel, but I still intend to campaign it at our Schuetzen matches this year.. Thanx Bernie

	Hi Bernie I am not shure about your rifle but not all are marked Schultz & Larsen, as to my knowledge Gevaerfabrikken was startet in 1889 and Schultz & Larsen took over in 1919, you can mail me a picture of the rifle with the inscription and I shall talk to the knowledge guys here there may still exist paperwork on there production. They wrote a book about the factory in Danish, I have added a picture of it, I havent had a change to get my fingers on a copy yet but this is soon to happend. The buildings of the famous factory still stands and are used today as a community centre. Michael

	Contrary , Can't tell you much about the rifle but can translate the Dutch Gevaerfabriken - gun manufacturer Otterup ,Danmark - Town and country of plant Essentially -Gunmaker in Otterup Denmark This goes back to the old guild system I know it's not much help with the actual gun history .

	A friend of mine recently purchased a Otterup Fallingblock .22lr identical to the one previously described. The price here in Swdeden was equal to about 450 US$ I actally shoot 20 shoots offhand 50m with it, It's a wonderful rifle! If he ever sells it, I will buy it.... I bought The Book for my friend on a Gunshow couple of weeks ago! The language is not Dutch but Danish!
