BRNO ZKK601

[johnnytheboy]

Been given one of these guns as a gift, it’s my first centrefire rifle and it’s a real pain to change it in Scotland, since it’s a gift I want to make the most of it rather than ditch it and rush off and get something new and shiney and avoid the fashion of must have the latest gear.

Any advice on custom stocks makers for these old BRNO guns? Anyone moded one?

I’m thinking ceracoat, Zeiss scope, Freyr silencer, maybe shorten the barrel for woodland manoeuvrability.

What caliber is it?

Nothing wrong with the action. Is this one of the CZ mounts system ones? Then you are stuck with that. Contact Optics Warehouse and Optics Trade one is in the UK the other in Slovenia. Both are the biggest optics supply places here in Europe.

Anyone can fit an aftermarket stock to that rifle. If you want carbon fiber, you have the outfit in Ireland. I prefer the GRS stocks from Norway. They make one that doesn't have an inlet and you can have a smith fit it.

New barrel fitment for a Mauser action could be done by any competent smith.

I think Border barrels moved from Scotland to New Zealand. But there is probably some other folks. I can do some research later.

.243 it has the 19mm mounts, the selection is slim!

Who are the Irish folk that do carbon stocks, that would be interesting!

I know a guy that does barrels if it comes to it, GAT in Dundee, I’m hoping it’s not that invasive! Yet!

https://grsriflestocks.com/products/. These fit most things. Or get a flat top and do it yourself.

https://www.pse-composites.com/en-de. Order a flat top if nothing else and have a smith fit it. Or do it yourself very slowly by watching stock inletting videos on YouTube.

McMillan makes a stock for those. I don't know who a dealer in the UK would be. It might need to be fitted a s well.
