Description:
This BRNO Mod 5 chambered in .22 LR is in good working condition the bore is in great condition, the metal condition is good with very minor surface rust but nothing that will affect the functioning of the gun, the stock is in fair condition with considerable amount of ware, with scratches and dents in the wood. This BRNO Mod 5 has a 23" barrel with iron sights attached the safety functions well and has a detachable magazine. The BRNO factory itself began in 1919 as Ceskoslovenská Zbrojovka Brno, founded in the city of Brno, making mostly Mauser's and some handguns. During WWII Germany took all control of Czech weapons production to make firearms for the Wehrmacht. It was under German orders that the first BRNO rimfire rifles began to be designed as trainers. Model 5 rifles are a hard to find variation. Speculation is that they were developed in 1958 mostly as a training rifle for Middle Eastern countries. They were a mix of patterns, using the barrel and stock of the Model 1, a new trigger based on the Model 4, and either Model 1 or 2 pattern sights. As usual other variations are also found. Many were part of a short-lived UAR, and later Egyptian contract, with some also for Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Approximately 33,000* were made with an estimated 15,000 going to the Middle East. Also called the ZKM 573. .22 Long
