I've come across a military BRNO Mauser and would appreciate some imput as to the model and general quality as a candidate for a rebarreled hunting rifle. The only markings I can see in the pictures are ceskoslovenska zbrojovka BRNO in straight script stamped on the receiver ring. It's got a long barrel and what appears to be typical military bottom metal. Stock forend has been cut off and some really crappy checkering/carving on the grip. Decent condition on outside but don't know about below the wood line. Done a search and stamping is different than what I've seen for 98/22 or VZ24's. Asking price is $140. Any help is appreciated. Edit... Found a pic of similar receiver stamping. Nothing on the side rail that I can see in the picture. ![]() | ||

You have a VZ/24. Fine action. ![]() Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

I have a VZ24 made into a .257R love the feel of the action and way the gun shoots. You will not let it set in the safe if it's done correctly. | |||

Thanks. I was under the impression that the VZ24 had stamping as such on the side of the receiver. Either way, I think that BRNO actions are generally well regarded. I'll see what I can work out. | |||

The 98/22 and the vz23 and 24 all came with that type of crest. Of those, only the 98/22 had a LONG barrel. ![]() Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Czech Brno mausers are fairly well regarded for quality of manufacture and etc. Think the $140 price is well in the ball park price range for what a collector of mauser rifles would call a bubba/butchered rifle. Heck, the action alone is probably worth $140. I say this because a couple of years ago a local gunsmith decided to sell his private stock of mauser actions for around $150 each. Took a dozen or so of them to a local gun show and had no problem selling them. LOL, bought two of them myself. | |||
