I'm not a 100 percent sure exactly what I found. It definitely is a CZ/Brno receiver. But it appears to have a German Waffen something another proofed barrel on it. The only things on the barrel are a few stamps. Some sort of winged cartouche And the letters "L" and "O" and one or two other cartouches.

The rifle seems to have been sporterized with a wood laminate stock. It does have the same indentations and holes in it that the solid wood stocks have. I think it might be a 98...??
Since I'm out in the field I don't have a way to add pictures right now. I can tell you it has a Weaver scope on it. It is a fixed scope. The model number is K4-C3. Any good? Value added?
The glass is intact on the scope and the reticle is intact on the scope as well. Did CZ/BRNO ever use a laminated stock? I would think that sort of stock was way ahead of their time.

The bore is in great shape...very heavy rifling. I cannot see the top of the receiver because They have the scope mounted.

THE NEXT DAY ! (to the sound of dramatic background music)
I was finally able to get over and get some pics. What is this? I'm not finding ANY crest. A very limited number of markings.
Not even sure this is 8mm!
Can ya'll help?

I think it is far more recent a sporter job. It looks like one of the Czech-made K98k's with winter trigger guard made post war out of parts on hand. These were imported in the 1990's and into the 2000's by SAMCO or some other importer.

Of course, it could still be a 1960's sporter job, but I'm not so sure.
 
Sporterized vz-24 in a sporterized 98k stock with a buehler low mount safety with a weaver scope, rings, and bases. If the holes were drilled straight, $199 isn't a bad price...
Get rid of the stock, replace the trigger guard, spend a few hundred dollars...
Yeah, Mausers are fun, but can turn into money pits quick. Unless you have parts on hand and can do work yourself, these are best either shot as you get them or passed over.
