Hello John

Just having another look at your rifles . . can you tell me a bit more about the short Model 21 in 7x57, I have a very similar rifle in 8x57, and there has been much debate about whether my stock is original to the rifle. My rifles stock profile is very close if not identical to yours, the rifle has a 1942 Czech proof mark, but no other "Brno" marks apart from one tiny "circled z" that one sees on the military stuff, and it has the name of a Paris retailer on the barrel. My stock is not numbered to the rifle as I have seen on some 21's. My bolt has a guide rib, and the receiver has a charger hump with claw mounts, the front one being on a saddle on the receiver.

Thanks

Foster
