Here are some pics of my H&R Reising collection. The Model 65's were used in WWII as USMC Trainers for
the M1 Garand. Also pictured are post war rifles that are based on the M65: Models: 165,150. In an added pic is the
Model 151. Also a Model 60 semi-auto 45acp and a Model 50 Sub-machine gun.

Thanks for the pictures and this post. It's always interesting to see the rimfire training rifles. I feel this is a part of history that is over looked at times. It's great to see these rifles, and to see them in action.
 
Awesome collection!! I have a 250 Sportster. I bought it cheap for 80 bucks not thinking it would shoot but its a tack driver. I can group Eley and remington match in just a tad over and inch at 100 meters sometimes if theres no wind. 50 meters and under and it will normally print all under a nickel.
 
There was a pretty neat Nazi trainer in GB a couple weeks ago. It was built by Walther. I seriously considered grabbing it. I'm kinda kicking myself now.

If it was a KKW, you missed the boat. They only made around 5000 of them. If it was a DSM 34, it would have been a nice one to get also.
I have a small German collection of trainers also. I collect trainers from around the world. I have US, Polish, Italian, German, British and Australian trainers.
Here are a couple of German ones:
