What's Included
- Zbrojovka Brno vz. 24 bolt-action rifle in 8mm Mauser (sporterized)
Built on a forged-steel, large-ring Mauser 98 receiver, this rifle retains core controlled-feed features: a full-length claw extractor, fixed ejector, and charger clip guide. The bolt is turned down with a round knob, and the cocking piece is visible at the rear, consistent with the vz. 24 pattern.
The sporter barrel measures approximately 23.23 inches and has an unthreaded muzzle. There are no iron sight provisions, and both the receiver ring and rear bridge are drilled and tapped for scope bases. The internal box magazine holds five rounds, with a total capacity of 5+1.
The rifle has been converted to a sporter configuration with a black synthetic stock featuring a straight comb, molded checkering at the grip and fore-end, sling swivel studs, and a rubber recoil pad. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Manufactured in 1926 and made in Czechoslovakia, the receiver ring is marked "ČS. ZBROJOVKA BRNO," aligning with period vz. 24 production. Chambered in 8mm Mauser, it offers a classic Central European service cartridge in a Mauser 98 platform.
