Brno model 21/22, Serial Number and Date Analysis, HELP build it together !

[The Kurgan]

1942, 3166, Round, 22F, 8x57
1949, 26278, DSB, 22F, 7x57, Round Bolt Handle

Check if bolt has a guide rib and also check if the receiver has a bolt guide rail.

 

[Waffenwerke Brünn]

They both do.

 

[The Kurgan]

I assumed so. Added

 

[Waffenwerke Brünn]

No, 22F. Short barrel, full stock/stutzen.

 

[The Kurgan]

No, 22F.

Yes, sorry, fixed. Does it have claw mounts and original scope?

 

[Waffenwerke Brünn]

No, aftermarket scopes and mounts for both rifles. The 1942 has a Balvar scope and mount.

I'll add, but this is the first time I've seen this.

Is it possible it's a poorly struck 4 in the year? Anyone else have pictures of the year stamp on their 54s?

It certainly looks like a 1 not 4

 

[The Kurgan]

It certainly looks like a 1 not 4

It could be a factory error

 

[The Kurgan]

ok all updated. Please confirm accuracy guys.

 

[Waffenwerke Brünn]

Looks good, thank you for doing this!

Here's a few I don't see listed . 22H , 7x57 , DSB , DST , # 24268 ,Mint condition ,best I have seen so far . Next is a 22F , 7x57 , DSB , DST # 24292 . Third but not least is an "anomaly" , that is kind of "normal" with these old BRNO'S . LOL . 21H , 7x57 , DSB , factory single trigger , #36996 . Barrel is dated 55 , receiver has two proof marks . One is marked 51 , the other is marked 55 . Has different checkering on the grip , that I have seen on other 1955's . I'm guessing it was made up in 1955 from the leftover parts bin , as 1955 was the last year of production .

G'n R: All updated. Nice collection! Thanks.

I pulled my 21/22 out of the safe: Serial # 9247, proof date '46, Cal 8x57, DST, No guide rib on bolt but receiver machined for guide rib.
Round top (someone put Redfield one piece mount and widefield scope on it), machine for stripper clips, 23 1/2 " barrels with
Mannlicher stock (the only one I have seen in this set up like this.)

This one’s a ‘55 in 270 win, by Guncraft. It’s nice.
