"Alk" - A Unique German Target Pistol (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-03-27 12:00:01 +0000 UTCThis is a unique and interesting German proofed .22 rimfire target pistol. It uses a simple blowback slide, which locks open after each shot. It is striker fired, with a 12-inch barrel and a quite nice trigger. The top of the receiver is marked “Alk” in a fancy script engraving, and also has a partially legible line that was probably the location of manufacture (only “BURG” is legible now). I don’t know anything about the history of the gun, but it strikes me as probably a one-off creation by a mechanically inclined target shooting enthusiast.

maybe apprentice /master schooling graduation build. why going through the trouble with a slide for a single shot? break open or boltgun would be good enough. or a proof of the design who knows. rather give my sw 22 some workout.

There is a company in Germany with this name. Today they produce brandig irons, but they are more than 100 years in business - maybe they tried gunmaking sometimes.

Wondering if "ALK" are the gunsmith/designer initials.
