Hi all.
I have just gotten my hands on this old Brno zg47 chambered in the 7mm Mauser. My first of these rifles. Barrel, sights, receiver all very good and I am very impressed with the quality and feel... can easily see what draws people towards these old rifles!
The wood less impressive but this I knew as these were made for hunting and the focus was on the metalwork.
It has a laquered finish to the wood.
Did they come like this (laquered) from the factory?
I much prefer an oiled stock but also value originality and dont want to change anything if not coherent with history.
All the best, Ryan
