Thread: Switch barrel Brno Fox

Hi All.

I'll add photos later on and build this up.

I had a Brno Fox 2 here in the safe which had a .17 mach iv barrel on it I got the rifle off an elderly friend who could no longer keep his licence. Being in South Australia (here for 9 years now) I couldn't even test shoot it with out lodging a permit to acquire as it was at a gunshop for safe keeping. So it took 6 week for the permit to come through. I've shot a few foxes with it and bunnies (also the occasional skippy) and had it for nearly 3 years now. I saw Wingman's thread on his switch barrel CZ527 and it got me thinking.... I've always wanted a 300 Whisper/BO so a couple of pm's to Wingman (probably should have been more) I dropped the barrel off to Sprinter Arms 2.5hours drive from me. By this time I had also found the original .222 barrel the rifle came off that had done minimal work .

Sprinter is a barrel maker and I have a stainless 1:12 twist on a BSA Hunter in .222

So the spec was to fit a 300Whisper barrel to the Fox and set it up so I can switch between 17mach iv, 222 and the Whisper. The Gunsmith wasn't keen on a hand tight setup for the barrel seating so they do require some torque on them.

Flats were machined on the sides of the barrel for removal with a spanner. When I post the pictures up you'll see some machining marks visible, I'm not worried about the looks but the whole job cost $650 and was turned around in 5 weeks .

More to come.
