Interarm markx 375hh12/23/2023 ![]() I got mine for $400 OTD and I consider it to be on par with my BRNO or Sako sporters in craftsmanship in a light rifle. That auction shows that some folks are aware of these guns, but if you find one local, jump. On the advice of gunsmith I added some pressure to the end of the stock, in the form of a pad of epoxy pushing up on the barrel. I had bad stringing and accuracy issues at first. The stock is hollowed out every which way, lightening cuts on the action, very light steel bottom metal. The gun has been lightened in the extreme. The muzzle break also REALLY works! It's a 30-06 and it kicks like a 243. Those guns are very sweet, and I wouldn't be sharing this if I didn't already have one. On the subject of sleeper mauser rifles, not wanting to thread hi-jack, the first wave of BSA bolt rifles, the ones with the full length extractor and the muzzle break, now that's a rare gem! I just saw one sell on GB. They must have been a busy shop, you see Flaig guns around, at shows, shops, the internet with regularity. ![]() But whichever, both are quality actions at reasonable prices. CZ sold all their rifles under their own name, at least in Europe, so if the Interarms Mannlicher were a CZ, I would assume it would say so. 30-06 built on a Zastava Mauser action back in the 70s/80s. I owned an Eduard-Kettner-finished Landsknecht rifle in. ![]() A lot of European sporting goods houses built their “house brands” on Zastava actions. And both built large numbers of Mauser and Mannlicher actions for the military and then later refined those for the civilian market as hunting and sporting rifles. Zastava is a (at least formerly) government-owned and now privatized arsenal and arms maker in Serbia, formerly Yugoslavia.īoth started way back when both Bohemia and Serbia were still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. To make clear once more what’s been mentioned already:ĬZ is in Brno, formerly Czechoslovakia, now Czechia (that’s the new short name of the country, apparently looks better on beer bottles ). FINISH Polished blue barrel and action, gloss urethane stock. It was very well made and a great shooter. At the time they were made by Zastava (?) in the Chec Republic.
