Thread: Kindling rifle

This is a single shot, @zimmer, so your mate must have had something quite different?

Yeah, just Googled it. Looks like the Toz 15 was the 5 shot rifle and then they had a range of models numbered below 17.

They started off with a Toz-1 then progressed -

The TOZ-1 is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action cadet rifle designed in 1927 by V. Selivanov and Ya. Kanevsky. The TOZ-1s were made from the late 1920s to early 1930s, until it was replaced with the improved TOZ-8 rifles.
TOZ-8M — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action cadet rifle. It is an improved TOZ-8 that was developed after World War II.[2]
TOZ-8OPF — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action cadet rifle. It is the TOZ-8M produced by RPC Fort in Ukraine.
TOZ-9 — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action rifle. It is the sporting version of the TOZ-8 designed by D. M. Kochetov.
TOZ-11 — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action rifle. It is a lightweight version of the TOZ-9 made for hunters and fishermen. It was designed in 1946, by K.I. Shihvatov. The TOZ-11 was an award-winning design, that was about 2 kg lighter than the TOZ-9.[5] The TOZ-11 was produced from 1946 to 1957.[6]
TOZ-12 — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action cadet rifle. It is an improved TOZ-8M designed by D. M. Kochetov. It features an adjustable aperture sight.[7]
TOZ-12OPF — is a single-shot .22LR, bolt action cadet rifle. It is the TOZ-12 produced by RPC Fort in Ukraine.
TOZ-16 — is a single-shot .22 LR, bolt-action rifle. It is based on the TOZ-11, and was produced using more modern manufacturing techniques.[6]

The TOZ-17 is a .22 LR, bolt-action repeating rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine. It was designed in 1956.


I think the later single shots and 5 shots were virtually identical (less the mag cutout) along with their stocks and sights.

Didn't have Google when my mate had his.

Another mate had one and made it into a very successful hunter class silhouette rifle. Cut off the bulbous muzzle. Cannot remember if it was a single or mag rifle.
