I went to a buddy's bike shop last week to pick up some parts and wound up leaving with a Czech Mauser, too (the shop owner is a fellow firearms enthusiast). I don't know much about it, other than it is a Czech V24? Interestingly, there are absolutely no importer markings on the rifle, at all. It has some decent bluing, nice bore, and has matching numbers for the barrel and receiver. There used to be a crest on the top of the receiver, but, at one time, it was partially ground/worn off, and I assume this is where the date of manutfacture used to be. Since there is bluing over this crest area, I'm assuming it was refinished at one time, possibly an arsenal refin?I can't find any other distinguishing markings on the rifle. Anyway, for $60, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Without the date on the receiver, anyone know how to date this rifle?
