Brno model 1 project (brno model one barrel thread??)
Well I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any more guns for a few months but this Brno model 1 was in a sorry state and needed Rescueing and it was very cheap
It needs a new barrel for a start
The action is fine and it has the original stock bottom metal and mag
But is missing the original screws
So rather than a restore I thought I would do what you just can’t do with a good one
And build a target/ varmint rifle from it by installing a heavy barrel and replacing the hardware shop screws for proper ones
I want to keep this a reasonablely cheap project
Obviously a bit of money will need to be spent but I have a mate who can change the barrel for me on the cheap
I have a couple of questions though
1 dose anyone know the action/barrel thread on the model 1
2 what barrel to buy
I was thinking bsa martini but where to find one in good condition
Guncity chch has a few anshultz ms54 barrels listed which I know are good shooters
And my mate has a spare kidd 10/22 barrel but it’s only 16.5”
Which might end up a little to short after the work needed mind you 15” is probably plenty long enough
Was wondering if the shank where the 10/22 barrel slips in could be Simply threaded
To screw into the brno action Obviously you would need to trim of a little to re cut the ejecter recesses
But should still end up with 15.5-16 from the 16.5 kidd barrel if this would work
I would prefer to use the kidd barrel as a know how bloody accurate they are
Ill tag @gundoc and @Wingman as both might have some info
Cheers in advance
