Gevarm 22 takedown

Woodwork shows usual signs of use, but overall a good to V good condition rifle.

Manufactured in France by Gévelot from the late 1950s through the 80s, the E1 is a fascinating piece of engineering that prioritized simplicity over almost everything else.

The Gevarm E1 is a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle that operates on a simple blowback, open-bolt system. Unlike your Ruger 10/22 or Savage 64, the bolt on the Gevarm stays locked to the rear when cocked. When you pull the trigger, the entire bolt slams forward, strips a round from the magazine, chambers it, and fires in one motion.

It’s also a take-down model. A single large knurled screw at the bottom of the forearm allows the barrel and receiver to separate, making it an excellent candidate for a backpack gun.

The standout feature of the Gevarm is its reliability. Because the “firing pin” is actually just a vertical ridge milled directly into the face of the bolt, there are no delicate pins to break or springs to lose. It hits the rim with a massive amount of force, meaning it will fire almost any brand of ammo you feed it. To keep the gun from beating itself up, you should try to feed it Standard Velocity ammo.
