Geco Carabiner - The Firearms Forum

I have a Geco Carabiner Model 1919, .22 single shot, barreled action, no stock, anyone have a clue to any value of these? I saw once where Numrich had stocks for them but don't know if they still do. Finish has original patina, barrel not too good, pitted. Thanks.

I assume the implied question is what is it worth. The answer is not much. Some of the German .22 rifles of the between-wars period were made as training rifles and have the look and feel of a military rifle; there is collector interest and they bring nice prices.

But that Genschow rifle was simply an inexpensive sporting rifle; there is little collector interest and complete it would probably bring under $75 or so as a novelty. If you can find a stock, good luck, but to have one made would exceed the value of the rifle by many times.
