Custom Brno model 21H in 7x57 -- pistol grip, floor plate, trigger guard

Custom built by Richard Gibbs and rebarrelled by Dennis Sorensen of BC, Canada.

 

The typical functional changes were made to this rifle. The butterknife-style bolt handle that required high mount scope bases was replaced with a standard M98 bolt with a turned down handle. The safety is a nice aftermarket unit, replacing the oddball left side Brno model 21/22 factory safety. The Brno model 21/22 round top action was expertly polished, drilled and tapped, allowing for the installation of vintage Redfield bases. It currently sports a nice Leupold VX-2 1-4x20 scope with standard Leupold low steel rings.

 

The rifle has been expertly re-barrelled (21-1/8"), but it is a faithful reproduction of the original barrel contour, and includes the original Brno model 21 front and rear sights and barrel band.

In May of 2015, this lovely rifle was refinished.

 

-- All metal parts were re-polished and beautifully colour case hardened by Oskar Kob.

 

-- The expertly re-profiled DWM M98 barrel and FN trigger were properly rust-blued by Martini Gunmakers.

 

-- The beautiful Brno model 21H stock was carefully refinished in a traditional honey-blonde matte oil finish.

 

-- The stock was also re-checkered with recut borders by Martini Gunmakers.

 

-- The vintage Redfield scope bases were rounded and reshaped by Martini Gunmakers.

 

-- Canadian-made Levy's leather sling.
