New to me recently
Swedish military rolling block with a difference
Commercially re finished action that has been re ground to octagonal reciever and all military marks expertly surface ground off action sides
Re colour case hardened
New walnut stock
Nice fore end Schnabel tip
New at refurb barrel in 12.7x44R and 9/10 condition
Nickel plated trigger, hammer and breech block
All parts number marked 62
So likely a small run sporting conversion
A little playing with loads and bullets and it's shooting superbly with the existing open sights

Got it last Sunday at the Dunedin swapmeet,
Brno model 21 in 7x57.
Late version made in 1955 with round bolt handle. Unmessed with apart from recoil pad, and in very nice condition. Shoots very well with 139 grain Hornadys clocked at 2940 fps

Very nice I had one but with the butter knife bolt handle had to use high mounts to clear scope yours looks much better
Very nice rifle , looks in exceptional condition as well , I have one in similar condition and like wise shoots very well
In keeping with a bit of a theme of mine recently.
Went bush stalking goats with a 32" barrelled Pedersoli Sharps 1874 long range rifle. Using black powder loaded 45-70 with 405gr cast projectiles.
I got two at about 10m. Partner got 3 with a 6mm-223.
Was bloody hot and humid in the thick Waitomo bush. I can also confirm the Sharps is as heavy as it looks.

Heres my two 1870s carbines.. the saddle ring cavalry carbine reciever has remanance of nickel plating too. The artillery/train carbine has a 10/10 bore so I have converted the rimfire block to centerfire..
