Hi to all, I was wonder if the forum can assist me in identifying a particular Mauser. I recently acquired a Czech Mauser but I have a difficult time trying to find out if it’s a VZ-24 or one of BRNO export models. The all of the identification marking has been grounded out expect for the “Z” in a circle on the right side of the receiver. The Mauser has a turn down bolt handle but not turn down all the way to recess the rifle stock. The front sight is similar to what I seen on older Models like the Turkish 36/46 Kale and the rear sight matches some of the South American variants. The rifle and barrel total lengths are the same as the VZ-24 Czech Mauser and both serial numbers barrel /receiver match (1xxx E) once I removed the stock and looked underneath but the rest of the rifle’s parts are missed match. Also I could not find any import marking on the barrel or the receiver. Please let me know if the Forum requires any addition information because I am stumped. I looked all over the internet and I could not find another mauser model that matches with the one I have.

If no one can help you here, try posting over at Gunboards Forums. There is a military Mauser forum which has some of the best Mauser experts in the world on line.
 
Looks like it might be a Czech Mauser 98/22. I am starting to enjoy Czech firearms as I've discovered they are excellent and my Wife's family is third generation Czech.
 
Polish Mauser on disguised as a Czech

I found out that I actually have a Polish Mauser which they covertly sold them to the warring factions in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. How it ended up with a Czech stock is a mystery to me.
