I've never heard of these old Walther rifles. Interesting find!

I have the Savage/Anchutz M-512 version, it's operating system is pretty close, but different. It has a neat-0 bolt lock that you manually engage that basically turns it into a bolt action, or a single shot, disengage that lock and it shoots semi auto! It's also tube feed, holds nominally 15 rounds of Long Rifle, but will allow you to shoot shorts and standards as well, but only Long Rifle has enough thump to cycle the bolt on semi auto mode! Super neat, and it shoots very well, as one would expect from Anchutz!
