I don't know if they are still around but Rubi (made in some South American country, can't recall where) used to make a copy of one of the Gevarm versions that was also fired from an open breech and could be converted to full auto easily, apparently, so I'm told.

The Rubi Extra 22RF rifles were made in Argentina and were a poor copy of the Gevarm. They often failed to eject the empty cases leading to regular jams.

Voere made a semi auto 22RF, Model 0014, that fired from an open bolt too but didn't seem very common or may have been banned in some countries like the Gevarm was.

Yes, Argentina, that's right.

They didn't have an extractor, but the one I saw ran good - the ejector pelted the cases out high and right, and effing hot. An aftermarket high-capacity magazine did have issues delivering the ammo quickly into the breech when in naughty mode but didn't jam up as such. Did I mention how hot the ejected cases were?

a friend was looking for a .22 for his daughter who gets a licence next time. when an old rimfire rifle was offered to me for 30 euro I though about him and make he got it. never realy looking what it was and in the end it was a Brno Mod. 2.
I must say its a damned fine rifle and just the right thing for anyone loving old mauser hunting rifles. no doubt, when they making this rifle today 1000 euro will be not enough. if I read the proof mark the right way it was made in 1957.

big surprise was on the rifle is a pre war Zeiss Zielvier that will sold for 200 euro + any day.
useless in this mount because there is no adjustment it will find a new home.

clean the rust with petroleum and fine steel wool, give the stock linseed oil one time -

and I am realy jealous about this good deal!

If I had to suggest you a rimfire rifle look for a Brno Mod. 2

A modern conversion? Some originals were training rifles.

The Enfield Mark 4's converted to .22 LR we had in cadets were single shot.

Several years ago, I embarked on a custom project involving a Sako P94S rifle. I wrote this up on the Sako Collectors Club forum, since the rifle was a Sako, but I thought that those of you on this forum interested in .22 rimfires might enjoy seeing this project in some detail. Rather than repeating the whole thread here with pictures, I thought that attaching the earlier thread here would be more economical. So here it is:

Yes - modern conversion.

AFAIK they never did a factory trainer variant of the No 5.

I understand that there was at some stage a Canadian .22LR trainer, IIRC based on the No 4 (?) that had a functioning magazine.

Yep - the empty cases fall into the magazine - which is just a body - no spring or follower.

That is correct. Our Air Cadet .22 rifles were Long Branch #4's.
That #5 is pretty snazzy.(sexy)
