Description
The Mauser STG44 22 LR CA Compliant is a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle styled after the German StG 44, built in a California compliant configuration with a 10+1 capacity and a fixed wood stock. This listing is UPC 689585854620, Mauser model 444.00.11CA.
Mauser STG44 22 LR CA Compliant Overview
The StG 44 is often called the first true assault rifle, a late World War II design that shaped nearly every infantry rifle that followed. Mauser rimfire recreates the look in 22 LR with a steel receiver and a natural wood stock and grip, so you can shoot a piece of history for the cost of rimfire ammunition.
Compliant Configuration
This version is set up for states with strict rules, with a 10 round magazine and a fixed stock. It also suits buyers anywhere who prefer a limited capacity rifle. Laws change, so confirm the current rules in your state before you order.
Steel Receiver and Wood Furniture
The steel receiver wears a black metal finish, and the stock and pistol grip are natural wood, close to the look of the original. Wood needs a little care, so wipe it down after a wet day and keep cleaning solvents off it.
Barrel and Sights
The 16.5 inch barrel is paired with an adjustable rear sight and a protected front post. Zero the iron sights at 25 yards for plinking, and expect good accuracy on small targets at 25 to 50 yards with ammunition your rifle likes.
Handling
The straight line stock and pistol grip give a natural point of aim, and recoil in 22 LR is very mild. It is an easy rifle for new shooters to enjoy and a fun one for collectors who want to shoot their history rather than just display it.
Why Shoot a Rimfire
A rimfire is the best tool there is for building skill. Low recoil and a quiet report let you focus on trigger control and follow through, and the low cost per round means you can practice often. Many experienced shooters keep a rimfire next to their centerfire guns for exactly that reason, and it is a great way to bring a new shooter into the sport.
Choosing Ammunition
Most rimfire semi-autos run best on high velocity round nose 22 LR, usually 36 to 40 grain loads. Try a few brands, because reliability and accuracy can change from one load to the next. Bulk packs keep practice cheap, which is the whole point of a rimfire.
Cleaning and Care
Rimfire ammunition burns dirty, so clean the breech face, chamber and extractor every few hundred rounds. A light coat of oil on moving parts is all most owners need. Store the rifle unloaded in a locked safe or case, with magazines and ammunition kept separate.
State Laws
Some states limit magazine capacity or certain features even on rimfire firearms. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.
