Orginal Holek Automat
      #349893 - 02/02/21 04:11 AM

Just had the luck to buy an Holek semiauto in 8x57, proofed 9/39.
I know that an manual for this rifle exists, anyone with tips where i can get an copy/scan?
Also looking for ads and anything around this rifle!
Thanks for help!

rare like hen's teeth, how many were ever made? think they come in 8x57IS and 7x57,

iirc, there was a article about in the DWJ some years ago. have you ask B.K. for the manual? another possibility is H.F. from suhl if you know him.

Yes, they are known in 7x57 and 8x57. Articles saying that around 1000 where made.
H.F. wants to have it, but he doesnt have anything about it....
Who is B.K.?
