G'Day Fella's,

GK, just in case you aren't aware of it and for a bit of an insite into older Brno firearms history.
The Soviet Union (USSR) invaded the Czech Republic in 1968. The purist's insist that this is when quality of Brno firearms dropped off, as a result of Soviet influence.
I have looked at a few post 68 manufactured Brno firearms and I believe that they were still making very good firearms for two of three years, after this date.

So how do you know when a Brno rifle was made?
If you look at the Left Hand Side at the junction between the barrel and the receiver, you will see some similar proof marks and also a two digit number on both the barrel and the action. This number is the year of manufacture!
In the case of my Brno Model 1 it is "51" for 1951, my ZKK600 is "70" for 1970 and my CZ 452 is "03" for 2003.

Hope this helps with your search!
