1926 CUSTOM VZ24 MAUSER .308 WIN HART MATCH RIFLE
SERIAL NUMBER: 8940A. BARREL: 24". CALIBER: .308 WIN. MANUFACTURED: 1926. This custom precision rifle is a magnificent example of mid-to-late 20th-century American match-grade gunsmithing, cleverly built upon a legendary European military foundation. At its core sits a rugged, interwar-era Czechoslovakian VZ24 bolt action, manufactured by the famed Brno arms factory. Officially accepted into military service in 1926, as verified by its historic "E [Lion] 26" Czechoslovakian proof stamp, this early-production action hails from a peacetime era renowned for meticulous machining and superior metallurgy. Celebrated by custom rifle builders for its rigid Large Ring Mauser 98 design and exceptionally smooth cycling, the battle-ready receiver was later stripped, trued, and repurposed to serve as an ultra-stable platform for long-range target competition. Threaded into this robust Czech receiver is a premium, heavy-contour aftermarket barrel meticulously crafted by the legendary Clyde R. and Peter J. Hart of Lafayette, New York. Bearing the distinct "C.R. & P.J. HART" stamp, this vintage button-rifled match blank hails from a golden era of competitive shooting when the father-and-son duo personally hand-crafted barrels that shattered world benchrest records. Chambered in the universally respected .308 Winchester, the heavy barrel maximizes heat dissipation and mechanical rigidity, ensuring sub-MOA consistency shot after shot. Completing this elite precision package is a vintage Redfield International Match receiver sight, a pinnacle of mechanical engineering from the apex of metallic-sight competition. Mounted via a specialized block on the receiver, this micro-click aperture sight provides incredibly precise 1/4 MOA windage and elevation adjustments, enabling the shooter to track targets at extreme distances without the aid of modern optics. Blending 1920s European military reliability with peerless American competitive accuracy, this highly deliberate custom build stands as a historic, tack-driving masterpiece of the shooting sports. CONDITION: Very Good. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The barrel exterior has a few very small black freckles. Operates normally. C&R 26-407
