WWII Czech BRNO ARMS 8mm Cal. Vz. 24 MAUSER Bolt Action MILITARY Rifle.
From the internet:
"Manufactured at Zbrojovka Brno, Czechoslovakia
The vz. 24 rifle is a bolt-action carbine designed and produced in Czechoslovakia from 1924 to 1942. It was developed from the German Mauser Gewehr 98 line and features a very similar bolt design.
The rifle was designed shortly after World War I to replace the Vz. 98/22, also a Czech-designed derivative of the Gewehr 98. The carbine followed a similar trend in weapon design at the time, that a short rifle gave away little in ballistic efficiency at combat ranges but was easier to handle on account of its shorter length.
Zbrojovka Brno was a state-owned armament factory and was a maker of small arms, light artillery, and motor vehicles in Brno, Czechoslovakia. During the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, Zbrojovka Brno produced weapons for the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS. In 1944, the factory was severely damaged in the bombing of Brno and was not rebuilt until after liberation by the allies."
Overall condition is good. Strong action. The stock on this example contains average dents and dings, remaining in good shape. "CAI" import marked.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
