Old Brno rifle, maybe a model 21
« on: September 19, 2018, 04:24:59 PM »
Hello from Norway.

Just bought an old Brno rifle in 8*57 I believe it to be a model 21. But the serial number has got me wondering, I have never seen or heard of model 21 with serial number past 40000 but this rifle has a serial number of 41271. Could this be correct? Any experts on the model 21 who can give some more info on this? I have only seen the rifle on picture, but it looks to be a model 21 but it has a round bolt handel. But the safety is on the left side like it should be on a mode 21.

The rifle is a model 21 Brno. Many were made with the round bolt handle that is similar to the ZG 47 bolt handle. I have a 7x57 model 21 with the round bolt handle ser # 40xxx. I have numerous model 21 rifles and carbines in different cal. with differing bolt handle and trigger combinations. Your rifle appears to need a lot of TLC but they are getting harder to find.
