LE Buddy of mine gave me an action for some computer work he did.
I have no idea the year of mfg, but looking for people's experience on this.
Top of action where a K98 would have it's BYZ etc it says:
CS. ST.
ZBOJOVKA
BRNO
I know that it was made at the BRNO plant, it's Check, and I believe ST was State.
What year was it made in? Has a s traight bolt handle..

Only the receiver ring was marked in three lines: 1: CS. ST. 2: Zbrojovka 3: Brno. Translation: 1: "C" Czech. "S" Slovakia" ST." state 2: arms factory 3.- Brno (the city in Czechoslovakia that the plant was in). (Czechoslovakian state arms factory Brno) This mark can be seen in Handbook of Military Rifle Marks, page 13, illustration #1. I will call this book reference (H) (No marks are on the left rail.) (They also had a branch plant in the city of Bystrica, in Slovakia, that made some of the rifles.) (The rifles are not marked for the different plants of manufacture.) The rifles other than the GEW98's I know marked like this are the early 98-22 rifles used by the Czech. military and later, when they got more new modern rifles, sold to Turkey, China and other countries. (Navy arms imported them also.)
