G'Day Fella's

500Boswell, that same post on these Brno's, has been posted on here as well (see below).

I always go back to the the standard thought on any firearm, "How many have failed, or blown up"?
There are a number of firearm actions, that I have heard of, or seen, that have failed.
The SMLE and Mauser 1896, being two models, that come to mind.

I have never heard of any Brno made sporting rifle action, that has failed or blown up.
Need I say any more?
As to the quality of their manufacture, some time after the Soviets invaded Czechslovakia (in 1968), the quality in manufacture but in particular, the quality of the final finish of Brno's, dropped to an all time low (there is a huge message in that).
My general cut off date, for quality of manufacture and finish, is 1970 but I have seen some later rifles, that still looked very good.

As to the difference between Forged, Bar Stock or Investment Cast made actions ........ all methods have their Pluses and Negative points and they all produce high quality end products but none of these methods, produce poor or bad, modern action designs, when quality control is maintained.

FYI, just in case you didn't know this, so many of Rugers firearm designs, are made by the Investment Cast process.

Hope that help

D'oh!
