Was at a gun show a couple of weeks ago and saw a Flobert (Warnant system) .32 rimfire. Felt sorry for it and it followed me home. Has a checkered knob stock, fixed sights, fancy guard, dove butt plate, dark bore shootable if you dare. Neat little gun, any one into Floberts? PM if if interested of have useful information to share.

Thanks

In North Germany in the old days, they used Flobert rifles for practice in winter or for the people who didn't get a membership in a firerifle-shooting society. But Flobert rifles were never very accurate. 

In south Germany and Austria, they used the zimmerstutzens, which were very accurate for practice and matches. So the zimmerstutzen found his way late to North Germany, but then the smallbore .22 rifles came up and nobody was anymore interested in Floberts.

Here's a nice German Krieghoff 22 with Warnant action.
Non-weird trigger guard and DST, with nice tasteful engraving.

This is the only book I have ever seen to the Flobert topic.

Another try for better pics.
