Description
There are plenty of rimfire rifles out there, but not many make people wander over at the range to ask what you're shooting. The Mauser Rimfire STG-44 does exactly that. Built in Germany under the Mauser name by Blue Line Solutions, this .22 LR recreation stays remarkably true to the original Sturmgewehr, right down to the pressed steel construction, metal handguard, and natural hardwood furniture. Pick it up and you'll notice it immediately: at around 9 pounds, it carries the same heft and balance as the wartime original, which is a big part of the charm.
What Makes the Mauser STG-44 .22 LR Different
Underneath the vintage styling is a practical, modern rimfire. The 16.3 inch barrel wears a 1:16 twist with 6 grooves, and the semi-auto action feeds from a 25 round magazine, so you can burn through a brick of ammo without constant reloading. The rear sight is adjustable and pairs with a hooded post up front, just like the original setup, and the trigger is adjustable too, which is a nice touch you don't always get in this category. A manual thumb safety rounds out the controls. Because it's chambered in .22 LR, recoil is basically nonexistent and range time stays cheap, making this a genuinely fun rifle to shoot rather than just something to admire.
Range Days with the STG-44 Rimfire
This rifle fits a few different owners. History buffs get a faithful, shootable tribute to one of the most influential rifles ever made without hunting down a five-figure original. Plinkers get a full-size, full-weight rifle that turns an ordinary Saturday at the range into something a little more memorable. And anyone teaching a new shooter gets a soft-recoiling trainer with real substance to it. The black metal finish against that natural wood stock looks fantastic on the bench or on the wall, but this one was built to be shot, so feed it quality high-velocity .22 LR ammo and enjoy it the way it was intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mauser STG-44 .22 LR the same size and weight as the original?
Very close. It measures 37.2 inches overall and weighs a little over 9 pounds thanks to its pressed steel construction and real wood furniture. That heft is intentional, giving it the same handling feel as the original rifle it recreates.
Who makes the Mauser Rimfire STG-44 and where is it made?
It's produced in Germany by Blue Line Solutions under the Mauser Rimfire name. The build quality reflects that, with pressed metal construction and genuine hardwood rather than polymer stand-ins.
What magazine capacity does this STG-44 rimfire come with?
It ships with a single 25-round magazine, giving you a 25+1 total capacity. That long magazine also completes the classic silhouette, so it looks the part while cutting way down on reload breaks during plinking sessions.
Is the trigger on the STG-44 .22 LR adjustable?
Yes, this model features an adjustable trigger, which is uncommon for rimfire replicas in this class. Combined with the adjustable rear sight and hooded front post, you can dial it in nicely for target work at typical rimfire distances.
