Wow i watched the video on classic today and here you are.
Your a beast brother, the firearms Savant......dig your stuff.
After watching their video, I thought...hmmmm... I have one of those, and some more info to add. Thanks man. I'm glad you liked the video.
I have one my uncle Jimmy gave me. Great rifle!! I remember the day he gave it to me. I must've been the happiest 11 year old in the world!
They were Czech made, under German "supervision". And the factory code for Brunn factory was "dot" while the Bystrica factory code was "dou". I own a dot 1943, Russian Captured with the "X" on the receiver. Interestingly enough, all of my rifle's waffenamts are intact. The cupped buttstock bolt disassembly hole is from the kriegsmodell kar98k. I'm guessing the Czechs decided to take the best aspects of regular kar98k production and combine it with the production speed of a kriegsmodell, especially since yours has a bayonet lug. Many kriegsmodells omitted it. Another excellent video. :)
Hello - i just picked one of these up & it has the Bruno markings and some proof stamps. i learned a lot form your vid. Thanks!
Just bought my own Czech k98 and was searching for videos. This video was really well done and found the information provided very entertaining. It’s always fun to learn the story behind surplus guns.
Awesome video!!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Excellent and thorough review on a not much covered mauser variant. Love it!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. 👍 I saw these are avail on Classic. Not much info on these, so thought I would chime in. I like this rifle too.
Thank you for helping me identify my newest rifle. Picked mine up for $500 at Cabela's.
Edit: Found Waffenampt stamps on my receiver.
Cool. No prob. You could find those stamps. They used German parts too.
@@2aEdu Yeah, I saw you had one on yours and that's what prompted me to check for them on mine. I just think it's really cool. My buddy has a K98 with all the eagles and everything from occupied Czechoslovakia, so it's cool to think that both rifles are basically brothers.
20 years ago I got one like the above. Price was about 200, last weekend at a Gun Show I saw one sell for 800 Dollars.
Nice video, and not only because I live 40 km from Brno! Very interesting and informative. Just one small correction - after occupation, a particular time the VZ 24 (VZ stnad for "vzor", it means model) has been produced with name G24 (t). T means tschechisch, german word for czech. The name G33/40 was a different rifle, pretty interesting one. It is slightly modified VZ 33, czechoslovakian Mauser carabine for police and gendarmerie. The G33/40 has been devepoled for mouitain troops. It is a pretty interesting rifle, about 140k of them have been made.
Fantastic and informative video. This has helped me tons. I got a Mauser rifle that I inherited from my grandfather that I’ve been trying to ID for years. I could never figure out why there was no engraving in the top of the receiver. And the fact it’s had a sporterized stock on it probably since the 50’s. After this video I think I have it all figured out. Wow. Thank you
Cool 👍 You are welcome.
Good post and great timing, just bought a DOU marked one from Classic.
Thank you. I had been wanting to do this video. When I saw Classic had them for sale, I thought it was the right time to do it. Cool. I hope you like yours. 👍
Thanks for the info. Just ordered one from those guys and was searching for info on them, and this was the ticket.
You are welcome.
Dad had one, my nephew has it now. Great gun.
Cool. I bet your nephew likes it. 👍
Great video. Great educational content. Thumbs up!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked the video. I had fun making it.
great video. thanks!
You are welcome
Sweet Mauser,love the grain
Thanks man. I like the wood too! 👍
This was a super informative video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Enthusiastic history teaching, my professor.....enjoyed bro!
I do like this stuff. I'm glad you liked it!
You CANNOT go from butt to tip. Flannel Daddy has declared that we shall always go over a weapon from tip to butt!
HERESY!! :-D
Dang it......lol. There always has to be "that guy" who goes against the grain: Me......haha
good vid. I have one that's ehtiopian has waffenamts on barrel receiver and bolt, swp 45 which is a kreigsmodell code from what I understand. definitely an interesting rifle
Cool 👍 I also bought one of the Ethiopian SWP 45 with the medallion in the stock, after I did this video. The SWP 45 Ethiopian contract were assembled in Czech Brno post War then sold to Ethiopia. Many of the parts, receivers etc were made during German occupation. But shortly after the war Czech assembled a number of rifles, and added their marking too, and sold them to generate revenue. That is why you will see German and Czech Brno proofs on these rifles.
So if you have one of the ones like I do from Royal Tiger, it is a German / Czech Ethiopian Contract K98K.
Great video. Thanks for the information.
You are welcome 👍
That's a gorgeous piece of history
Yeah it is. Thanks man!
Great vid very informative!
Thank you. I like this history kind of stuff. I'm glad you liked it. 👍
Thanks. I too enjoy to geek out on the cz stuff.
You and me both! I need to do a video with more Czech guns. I have quite a few more....rifles and pistols.
Beretta Man stated exactly what I was thinking: you make a great history teacher! Thanks for the great video!
Thanks man. I like this kind of stuff. You are welcome.
Thanks for sending me the Puerto Rico info. I am going through it when I have time.
I'm a Romanian-American. Your age, and both my grandpas fought in WWII on the german side. I bought a VZ 24 made in Czechoslovakia in the 30;s and according to the serial # was sent to Romania on the Eastern Front to kill Soviets. It was a miracle find. Got it for like 200 in 2008 at a gander mountain Upstate New York. Accurate af yo!
This was very informative, thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
Love the history. Prewar, war, and post war history of firearms and economics is really interesting. The Marshall Plan not only offered monetary support to the Western European states, but also to the Soviet Union and its allies. However, Stalin looked upon the reconstruction plan with suspicion and prevented the eastern European states from applying for Marshall Aid. In Stalin’s view, economic integration with the West would weaken his hold on Eastern Europe. Upon his return from a meeting with Stalin on the matter of Marshall Aid, Czechoslovak foreign minister Jan Masaryk stated:
“I went to Moscow as the foreign minister of an independent sovereign state. I returned as a lackey of the Soviet government.” I do wonder how important the surviving factory was to Stalin as he faced the postwar tensions with the US that led to the Cold War.
I love the history too. Thanks for the additional info. I bet Stalin valued the BRNO factory. For sure. Czech never really followed the Soviet rules 100% though. All of their guns were different than the Russian variants. But Czech did use the Soviet calibers by mandate.
What a great video man!
Glad you liked it! Thank you. 👍
Thanks to you, I have identified my dad's gun at last! I remembered the 8mm Mauser he had, that I shot a few times when I was a kid (ouch!) but I only just came into possession of it last month. I had been researching it intensely, with little to show. I got all the markings I could find, knew it was a Czech BRNO, and I searched google, watched everything about bolt action Mausers I could find, from Mr. Harrell, Hickock45, Gun Jesus, and many others, but I couldn't find anything that really pinned it down, until I saw this video! This is the gun! From the scrubbed receiver ring, the stamped trigger guard/mag plate, winter trigger guard, sights, markings, and everything else, this is it! I will be getting a good magnifier and bright light to check all the proof marks better, and see what else I can find tomorrow. Thank you! I think the stock has been sporterized or maybe replaced - the butt end all looks good, has the right butt plate, hole and vertical sling cutout, but the front end has no upper furniture or barrel rings. I have done a take-down, cleaned and oiled it good and can't wait to get to the range with it! Thanks 2a Edu!
Cool! I'm glad my video helped. These rifles are an interesting piece of history. I just got another one of these yesterday that is an Ethiopian Contract. It has more of the markings, and a coin embedded in the stock. Your rifle will take a K98 Mauser stock (they are German Mauser stocks) Laminated would be correct with the bolt take down hole in the cupped butt plate. If the stock still has the area for the barrel ring retainers, you could probably buy barrel rings and the retainers, and an upper laminate handguard. Yours might be missing the nose cap too. Ebay has a lot of that kind of stuff. Here is a link to the one I just bought. I just finished cleaning it up from all the dirt and grease it was packed in for decades. www.royaltigerimports.com/product-p/maus0009.htm
It sounds like we have the same rifle, and I’ve been trying to ID mine for ever as well!
@@jackgtx440 Yep, and many thanks again to 2a Edu for the help! It shoots great, too!
@@jeffnelson1672 absolutely. im getting ready to shoot mine for the first time. Can’t wait.
@@jackgtx440 Enjoy! I experienced some heavy bolt lifts using surplus Turk ammo. It's pretty hot! Also requires the extra cleaning regimen because of the corrosive primers, but no issues with modern PPU ammo.
I've got a swedish made Mauser sport model! It shoots a 7×54 has an infield bolt! Found it at a rummage sale 50 bucks! I've had it about 20 yrs! Have never seen another! Shoots great little hard to find ammo
Sounds interesting. And certainly the right price. I like my M96 Swede Mauser a lot. Great guns.
Would love to see a video on the vz. 58! Great stuff you are doing!
Cool. Man. I will do the VZ 58 soon, as well as some other Czech stuff. Thank you. 👍
i bought one for 150.bucks. but doesnt have orignal stock, vz24. didnt know it was so old.ill hang on to it.
Nice! They are great rifles.
damn it man, you made me drool on my keyboard lol, love the rifle, thanks for sharing it. :)
lol. Now I'm ruining keyboards. No problem. I'm glad you liked it.
@@2aEdu I forgot the other variant you ask if we wished you to video but, pleaswe do! Of all the great guns and bargins I have had, my fav was a 1917 (US) Enfield in -06, bought with a cracked stock for cheap and OMG what craftmanship. TY for your work, keep it up... and where is the llama?
Laminate stocks were quicker to produce but not as robust as hardwood stocks due to the fact the glue holding the layers together sometimes failed which is called de-lamination.
Lol no.
Well done.
Thank you!
@2a Edu Execute order 66 (Because there is a 66 sign behind you).
I got one just like that .
Love Mausers! I have a M48 and a FR8 myself
Me too! I have a M48, but do not have the .308 FR8. I would like one someday.
@@2aEdu Awesome man! M48s are beautiful rifles. I am looking forward to seeing more milsurp videos from you!
@@akmguyman762X39 Yeah they are nice. I also have a Yugo M98, and a Yugo Gew98. I should do a Yugo Mauser video. Also would like to do Yugo pistols, and AKs too. I have so many videos ideas. I'm never going to run out of ideas. Just limited to days in the week. Thanks man.
@@2aEdu oh hell yeah dude sounds like you have a sweet collection! I only have a small handful of rifles and one pistol as far as milsurps go, it is so cool knowing that you are literally holding a piece of history in your hands, if only these rifles could tell there stories! How are yugo AKs? I have a couple AKs as well, I love my Vepr!
@@2aEdu I have a Yugo M98 as well. I found some interesting info on mine that if you look at the surviving Waffenampts on some of the parts you may find your gun was re assembled with parts of guns from the same production batch due to them having the same WaffenAmpt number. I had 4 parts with the WaffenAmpt number 77. And the bolt body on mine had 3 different serial numbers too all on the handle.
The bottom plate stamped an it doesn't have 4 screws the extra smaller lock8ng screws!
What's with the creepy 66 in the pyramid with the eye, eye of wood, but eye near a pyramid with 6's. Creepy. Good vid, very informative.
There is nothing creepy about it. I'm into milsurps and it is a famous arsenal marking. Look up factory 66 AK 47. Or factory 66 norinco. And yes it is wood which sometimes has random knots in it.
It's amazing how people type weird stuff without doing a lick of searching. Heck.....Google triangle 66 and I bet you get your answer. SMH
After the war ended, the British and Americans did not want steel and weapons factories to be used by the Soviets so they bombed both the Zbrojovna factories and the Skoda factory in Plzen, killing Czech civilians. No apology was given.
You answered many of my questions. Looks much like what I recently picked up. We’re the Czechs only made in 8x57? Just cross referencing everything before I put a round in mine. I have a KU stamped on mine as well as a t in a circle. All mismatched numbered parts. Thanks for the video. Well done, will watch again
Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful. Yes, only 8mm Mauser from what I know. They used parts left over from when their factory was occupied by Germany.
Not only in 8x57, there were more especially pre-war contracts, e.g. 7x57.
Ive got an old milatary rifle, nit sure what it is, it has 1940 stamped on it and I think it is a Japanese Rifle, its bolt action
Probably an Arisaka.
@@2aEdu I think ive found it, its a model of a Carcano, Italian made rifle for Japanese, ive found some vids, but the ones im seeing have a more wooden shrouded barrel
@@hillrwayne Cool. Look at the mishaco channel. I bet he has a video on it. He is into those type of guns.
They were also sent to Iran
I have a hey Czechoslovakia vz24 I need to know what size ammo it takes and the millimeter of the casein thank you very much
Most Vz 24 are chambered in 8mm Mauser, but also in 7mm Mauser and 7.65×53mm Argentine
Can this Czech mauser accommodate a standard 12" cleaning rod?
I would assume so. It is a standard K98, but I will have to check to be certain.
Nice video, which one do you prefer most, k98k or vz 24?
Thank you. Both! lol. But if I had to pick prob k98
👍👍
👍
Interesting Rifle, nice video, what does one go for in decent shape?
They are for sale at Classic Firearms right now for 700. Maybe cheaper in Gunbroker?
I have a ceskoslcvenska zbrojovka brno 7mm I need some info on it
I need to german k98
How to provide me
My local has a Jugo M48, but it's got that Chinese tinted lacquer. Is that an issue? Wants $400(negotiable).
Value your opinion. Thanks, brother. 🇱🇷👍👍☕🇱🇷
The Yugo Mausers were avail for 300 a few years ago, but prices have risen. I would have to see the lacquer to say for sure. If it is original then I would say fair price. But if it something someone did after it was imported , it wouldn't interest me. I like my milsurps to be as correct as possible. Depends on if you collect or just want it to shoot. No problem. Thanks for watching.
@@2aEdu cool
Before all you people take your cash cows and shoot them with full power loads , pull the action and make sure your 1 piece mag wells are flush with the recoil lug wood , not a 1/8th to 1/2 inch air gap between the two , causing you great pain in your hand with it cracks and splinters , quite a few were milled too large , quite a few. Was paying 50 to 75 for mine in lots in the mid 80's , should have kept more instead of giveing them away for grifts , the 409 is a simple rack number . nothing more. I like my cash cow's more then my 98K's , they just feel better , why I dont know. Our shop used these and 33/40's for sporters in the late 50's , converted with bishop stocks , remingtom front sights , reblued and reamed for 8mm-06 , good sellers.
Thanks 👍
Also check the join line of the barreled action and the Magwell/triggerguard for burrs or warping as those will cause feed problems.
Rae would have modelled the rifles better …… hehehe
She would have.....but I bet she wouldn't know the history. lol
Classic over prices a lot of there shit
Yeah, and milsurps keep going up in price too. Which sucks, because I love milsurps.
Were German stocks ever reused?
Yes
