Description

BRNO .22 RIM FIRE MODEL 1 BOLT ACTION RIFLE.

Model 1 Bolt Action .22 Rim Fire from BRNO Arms (Believe it or not) Dating back to 1951. For a 70 Year Old Rifle it is REMARKABLE condition, especially given what it is. Given widely regarded as SOLID work horses for pest control they do tend to see serious amounts of use. For this to be as clean as it is it has been extremely well cared for all of these years.

Barrel detailed, as you would expect, BRNO Mod.1. Cal .22 Long Rifle along with proof date stamp. 22 ¾” (580mm) long threaded ½” x 20 Standard UNF ready for a sound moderator. Original Iron Sights with a fixed 50 yard /meter leaf and folding at 75 and 100. The only thing missing is the front sight bead shroud.

Action detailed with the ‘NOT BRITISH MADE’ stamp inside an oblong banner / box. Along with Matching Proof stamps and ZBROJOVKA BRNO. Made in Czechoslovakia with serial number to the right and ndrodni podnik below to the left.

Safety on these EARLY examples is positioned on the back of the bolt, pivoting horizontally to position.

ALSO TO NOTE: To drop the bolt out PUSH the trigger gently FORWARD. Later versions require the trigger pulling back.

Stock appears to be a Light coloured Maple Walnut with some Nice Dark Contrasting Stripes. Pull to the still in place Original Butt Plate measures 13 5/8” (346mm). Everything  bringing in a bare weight at 5 Lbs 14 ½ oz (2.676 Kg). Overall length at 40 ¾” (1035mm).

These EARLY rifles are also quite sought after and getting more collectable as each year passes. Apparently those ‘in the know’ much prefer these older versions. The rifling is supposed to be Far Superior to any option since.

As such only getting more collectable as time ticks relentlessly by. Especially when it is something you can use to its full potential. Knowing it only going to improve. Take basic and reasonable care of it and no reason why not still good 70 years from now.
