new BRNO purchase (ZKB680 Fox Md2 in .222 Rem)

[jcb]

Thanks for all the replies.

I will stick with the .222 for the moment, quite like the idea of it being out of fashion and old school!

although since I posted this is doesnt resemble the gun I bought.!
I hated the agricultural bolt handle so I "smoothed" it!

all the small parts are polished and re-blued.
Barrel is 3.5" shorter and screw cut in 1/2"UNF, polished to within an inch of its life and it is going in the hot tank tomorrow!

some pics: (you can see the bolt/collar in one of them













I will have a look on 6mmBR for the post but I may have found a Fox enthusiast who may be able to help me source a collar.
worse case I will make one, it serves no real purpose and has little or no stress on it so shouldn't be too tricky!

While I've seen quite a few Brno Fox II's they have all been date stamped earlier than yours and have all had the round bolt knob, your bolt knob looks more like my CZ 527 bolt knob.

I wonder if the CZ527 collar will fit your bolt?.........Kiwi

the diagram of the bolt certainly looks similar..good call, thanks
