So if you are looking for a really cool piece of WWII history. The carbine followed a similar trend in weapon design at the time, that a short rifle gave away little in ballistic efficiency at combat ranges, but was easier to handle on account of its shorter length. The rifle was designed in Czechoslovakia shortly after World War I, to replace VZ24, featuring a 600 mm (23.6") barrel which was shorter and considered more handy than the 150 mm (5.9") -longer Gewehr 98. The rifle was designed in and features a very similar bolt design. It was developed from the Mauser Gewehr 98 line, and features a very similar bolt design. If its anywhere near as good as their 7.62x51, that stuff should rock.CZ VZ24 Mauser The VZ24 is a bolt-action carbine designed and produced in Czechoslovakia 1924 to 1942. I"ve heard Hirtenburger 8mm is the shit, but never shot any of it. There is alot more out there, but these I listed I know drom personal experience. Israeli 8mm - If stored well, is pretty good, but good luck finding it in quantity. The best bullet weight to use is 198 grains. Romy 8mm - not the most accurate, but its still good stuff.ĬZ late 1930s - I still need to do more tests with this stuff because I had some problems with it, but I think it may have been the rifle. Look for ammo marked Ss or Spitsgeschoss mit Eisenkern, its translated as hard pointed bullet with iron core. German WWII - as long as its been stored correctly, its usually good to go. There can be issues with hard primers, but this is easily fixed with an extra power firing pin spring from Wolff.
Yugoslavian 1950s - While there are some reported problems (lot 11 if I remember), its generally good stuff. Yugoslavian 1970s - its still out there, but the days of a 900 round case for less than $200 are long gone. 198 grain, brass cased, and VERY accurate in my rifles that have good bores. Portugese 8mm - NC and packed on strippers.FANTASTC stuff if you can find any. I"ve been into 8mm Mausers for almost twenty years, and these are my picks for good ammo: The Romy stuff is ok, goes bang every time, but is a little dirty.
Brno manufactured rifles have serial number suffixes (such as 1234 A5) and Považská Bystrica rifles have serial number prefixes (such as A1 2345).
The Czechs opened a second rifle plant in the late 1930s in Považská Bystrica, they're VTLU code was "E4" Also, when the Czechs opened the the Považská Bystrica, they devised a serial number system to avoid one plant doubling the other plants serial numbers. As an example, E3(lion)37 "E3" means it was accepted by the Czech army in Brno and "37" means it was accepted in 1937. The stamp includes the code for the location of the inspector, the Czech lion crest, and the last two digits of the year it was accepted. Czech rifles with lion crests will have a VTLU code (Czech Army acceptance stamp) on the side of the reciever ring, just above the serial number. All Romanian vz.24 start with a two letter prefix, the second letter is always "R" i.e., AR, BR, CR. The easiest way to tell a Romanian contract vz.24 in the serial number. If you have a scrubbed lion crest, the outline of the lion may look like a wreath. Czech vz.24s have a lion crest, vz.24s built by the Czechs for the Romanians have two different crests, one is a cross, the crest of King Micheal, the other is a wreath, the crest of King Carol.
