fabryka karabinow 22

[25thlight]

Hello all,
Any help identifying and placing a value on this fabryka karabinow Polish made rifle would be greatly appreciated.
The rifle is a 22 long single shot bolt action.
This rifle is a recent estate find, this was one of "grandpa's war trophies" I assume the rifle is of pre war manufacture.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eddie
It's a "AL rifle", type 1930. No idea what the AL stands for but 1930 is when they were granted a patent. Production started in 1931, and the one you've got is a luxury version of the rifle with 630 mm long barrel (all other types had 600 mm long ones), shortened walnut stock and one of two types of buttstock - bakelite or horn.

Hope it helped you a bit

In 1931 it was worth 165 Polish Zloty and it wasn't considered very expensive. But I've no idea how much it's worth nowadays, sorry.
