Our Assessment: This Model 60 Reising was manufactured between 1944-1946. It was designed as a semi-auto only version the Model 50 submachine guns of the same Reising name and used the same magazines and closed bolt design. These were used by factory & railway guard in addition to police units during WWII who did not need as much firepower as front line troops. This rifle has a decent bore, strong mechanics, and even comes with one mag. This will make a great addition to a collection of C&R rifles and not many were made. Drop a bid on this C&R rifle today.
