Thread: Value of BRNO model 1 22lr??

Hey Guys thinking of selling my Brno model 1. Purchased it off sports ways many, many moons ago as a factory refurbished one (parkerised finish). It's very tidy, has 1" steel lynx rings & a slip on PVC suppressor for subs.
What would the value be for the above??? I've lost touch on the price of classics as now everything else I own is plastic / stainless.

At the end of the day the right price for the weapon is the one YOU are happy with selling it for. take it into a retail gun store and ask them what they would give you for it or an idea of what they would sell it for, it will give you a market value but realise at the moment there are heaps of cheap .22s out there that do the job effectively enough and the market for a more expensive .22 may be small. I would be suggesting somewhere around the 600- 900 dollar mark but without seeing the weapon that is purely a guess, I like BRNO .22's but wouldn't pay more than 900 for a second hand one.

In Aus they're worth about $500 so NZ dollars if its the same would be $550-600 I'd say

photo it mate. and tell us the year and how many groves the barrel has


some people are prepaired to pay big money IF it has front sight and back site as well as original mags, refinishing the stock only lessens their value if done incorrectly

Id say between 450 and 650 without a photo, maybe higher if its a minter
Id like one myself but Ill stick with my model 2 till one comes up at a resonable price

Nah mate, they are shit rifles, if it is mint i'll give ya a couple hundy just to take it off your hands!

It isnt the 12 groove barrel is it? I think thats the "2"? Ive seen some 2s for sale and the asking price sems to be $700NZ+ I dont see them selling though. Condition probably makes a huge difference, does to me anyway....an absolutely mintie well Ok, well used not at all.

Definitely looks like a 6 groove barrel, no idea of age, has front sight, I also have the rear site somewhere.
Here's some pictures.

There will be a 2 digit number where the barrel joins the receiver, that is its date of manufacture.

From the pics it would appear to have been manufactured in 1968 and refurbished in 1991? I could be wrong though, anyone confirm or correct me?

Parkerising and refurbishing will reduce value. I bought a mint 1955 mod 1 for $650 a few years back

Thanks guy's for all the information. Sounds like $600 would be a fair asking price based on the above.

Does anyone here know what the differences between the brno models are, I have seen on trademe model 1s, 2s and 5s, but have no idea what the differences are.

Just yrs of manufacture mostly and I think 1 and 2 are genuine Brno, then it became state owned, not sure now. Best IMHO is about a 74-78 model 2. There is also an early one than the mod 1 called a TGF, same as mod 1 but refurbished and date stamp removed, a little bit more rare.

Is it the Model 2e that is when it becomes purely a CZ rifle and not a Brno?
Or is the CZ zmk 2e or whatever exactly the same as the Model 2 but newer?

I think your right, CZ qual dropped, mod 5, without the e I think is made for the American market
