Good idea to video the BRNO refurb... stock came out beautiful. Yep a lot of 'repeats' you have to do to get a deep bluing... but still we think we should do more 😊
My God Sir, you took a lovely old rifle and stripped all it's character, the old blueing was far superior to that cold blue which will wear off in no time, it is a classic BRNO man wth...
Hi. It's going to be used out in the weather shooting possums and rabbits, and will more than likely get wet. The old blueing was gone in a lot of places so those areas would have been susceptible to rust. So this was about preserving the rifle. And no one had said that the cold blue will wear off quickly... But I think that it looks a lot better, and that's the main thing. As for the blueing, only time will tell. Thanks for watching.
You did a GREAT JOB on your 22lr. I LOVE MY 22lrs. I don't have the patience to spend THAT MUCH TIME on restoring anything but I have done quite a few REPAIRS to make a rifle or pistol that was NON FUNCTIONAL to WORK AGAIN.The project that I'm most proud of is I was able to replace the BREACH BLOCK on a 1914 German Luger (P08). I was successful BUT I did have a couple problems 1 I really didn't have a PROPER area to work (kitchen table and counter) 2 the replacement part I got from SARCO new manufactured part was NOT UP TO SPECS. THE PART FAILED after only 50rds testing. I spent about 4-5 hours stoning the part to fit properly which was TEDIOUS, the Luger is a extremely close tolerance made pistol. SARCO did reimburse me for the part but I did spend a bit of time fitting the part. I was able to procure a ORIGINAL PART from the same time period (the old German eagle)marked. It worked GREAT AND SHOT GREAT, I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT even though I already had one (standard German army 4") and the 1914 had a after market 8" barrel from Austria (maker who made barrels for Lugers). It was NOT MATCHING and someone POLISHED 90-95% of the pistol which kinda QUEERED IT. My other other Luger was more ORIGINAL. I made some money selling it but REALLY NOT ENOUGH. IT REALLY SHOT GOOD and FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY, the value of even that FRANKENSTEIN would go up and up because of the accuracy and function WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT WITH THOSE PISTOLS.🤔😯😩😞😮💨
I know this is an old post, but not sure if your aware or not that you can steam out dents and scratches in stocks, take a wash cloth or rag and wet it ring most of the water out enough that it's not dripping all over, then take an iron and hold it on the cloth until most of the water has dried up, then repeat this until your satisfied with the results, it may take a few times to get the grain back level, but it works great as long as it's not too deep, then sand it lightly to blend it back in... I've had great results with this method...good luck !! I have a beautiful BRNO mod 4 that I bought some years back...new in the box... I love BRNO and CZ guns they are great shooters...you might already know about this procedure, but just in case you don't...now you do !!
I aways use 1/3 mix military gunstock wax which is 1/3 BLO, 1/3 natural beeswax, 1/3 oil of turpentine (NOT mineral turps!) Melted together in a double boiler it cools to a nice, useable stock wax. Lucky bugger you are to have easy access to bunnies (and possums!) Considering they were ours originally (Australia lol) -
Thanks for that!.. You can have the bunnies back... They are in plague proportions in some parts of the country. Don't you have easy access over there as well?
@@ScottGiltrap Rabbits are scarce these days all over the country, (USA) not sure why, could be the complete spread and saturation of coyotes? I have seen a couple programs on the rabbit populations down under, it is incredible, my guess is a lack of predators? Unfortunately I haven’t eaten any wild rabbit in quite some time.
Awesome rifles ,I have a 1989.version. You have done a nice job of it ,I have done stocks the same as what you done but always been too chicken to do any blueing. The open sights will be accurate as. Nice vid cheers 👍
@@ScottGiltrap 1990 was the last year of the good ones ,once communism came along and mass production they didn't fit them together that well. A good piece of steel and a good piece of wood but just slapped together.
@@himanshubmt1739 Sorry, I took the answer from the top of my head.....which was not quite accurate. Actually the Brno 2 has a dove tail about 9,5 mm at its narrowest and 11 mm at its widest. The 11mm-3/8 would be a tad too wide I think, even if vendors list them as .22 scope rings. So the correct ring size would be 9-11 mm. There is also other factors to take into consideration. The bolt lift is quite high so I`m not sure the bolt knob will clear the eye piece of the scope unless you use High rings. Another factor is the rear iron sight. With a 40mm scope objective, you`ll need to use the High rings to clear the iron rear sight. You might even need to dismount the elevating part of the iron sight for clearence. You should be good if you use a smaller scope objective though. On the other hand, if you drill and tap the receiver for using a rail, you`ll be home free to use a wider variety of rings and scopes. Please, check up these issues with other sources to before you buy! Again, sorry for the initial inaccurate info!
I have a brno model 2 such an accurate gun never fails
Dam it's looking mint as then old looking and 22's are my favourite gun ever used and missed good old days

Bloody good work. That rifle will last your lifetime no doubt. By the way, that Torana bonnet could be your retirement fund! Cheers!
Cheers... And yes.. Along with all the other torana bits and pieces!.. 6
Great work great result👍
Nice job, pity you didn't chase out the checkering
I know my limitations!.. Lol.. I wanted to, but thought, if I stuff it up it will look terrible.
@@ScottGiltrap easy enough if you take your time and got the right tools
Can you suggest please the correct tools required for cleaning out the clear finish in chequering?TIA
@@nikolaineumann9101 You just need a couple of checkering files, a steady hand and patience don't try rushing it

That is some interesting wood on that. Good job

Beautiful old girl.
Good job mate
That's a pretty good job for cold blue a lot of TLC. To get those results the receiver was probably case hardened or drop forged
Thank you
nice video, tempted to do that to my 581
good job. now all you have to do is recut the checkering.
Nice impala horns at the back there bud
Cheers.. I've got a couple of sets.. And a nice Kudu.

Thanks for that... Yes sanding of the old Bluing first was a bit nerve racking. This one is a 1988 model.

You should be able to find a no.2 front sight hood as well, old CZs are commonly missing them
I've actually just come across one. it is now complete. Cheers.
Cz 💪💪❤️❤️🥂🥂
Hi, mine one has got a problem i.e sometimes it fires while unlocking. Any tips??
Hey mate good work!!! Was that rear sight on a pin? I tried bashing mine out but it just bent the hole punch haha
It was actually on a spring system. You had to sort of press it down and slide it backwards at the same time if that makes sense.
Tremendous fart old chap. It made a good video even better. 🤣
Can I get to know the Dovetail size of Brno model 2 E ?
I'm sorry... I can't recall it at the moment.. But what measurement would you like?.. And I can go out to the shed later and measure it for you.
@@ScottGiltrap Thankyou so much I would like to know the Dove tail size / scope ring dove tail size. Can you please do that for me Thankyou !!
@@himanshubmt1739 You`ve probably found out by now, but if not.......use rings with specs listed either 11mm or 3/8"
