Brno Mod 2 price??

Post by Shootermick » 04 Mar 2020, 7:05 pm

Just after anyone’s rough ballpark figure on how much a Brno Mod 2 is worth? 1966 production, only average condition outside but good bore and rifling. All original open sights with an aftermarket mag.??$$$???

NIB, about 1400
Exc, condition about 900
VG condition about 650-700
Good about 550
Fair/Avg (after market mag) 400 tops. More likely 300.
Just my opinion

Bought one last year - vgc - $650 and it shoots very well.
Before buying - did some homework, think I paid fair price.

I’m thinking about taking it to the LGS on the weekend and cashing it in on something else. I know I won’t be getting a heap for it, but just trying to get an idea before I rock up there.

If you get offered SFA don't take it. You can always put it on Usedguns and get a fairer price.

Definitely, even a poorer example might bring a good price if there are none on the market when people are looking for one.

Definitely sell it privately, someone out there will be happy to pay fair price 'cos BRNO Model 2's have a big following. If it's not pretty a dealer will give you bugger all as a trade - they have to make money on it. Post a photo and plenty of members here will give you an opinion .... you might even sell it.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but personally I prefer the .30/30 Winchester.

I know they can be bull dust but why don’t you see too many proof targets from rifles in their advertisements? If you want to show what the rifle is capable of ? Or does dishonesty run that deep....sigh.

Probably because a very good shooter can shoot very good groups, a not so talented shooter buys the rifle and can only manage groups twice the size with it, and then posts everywhere that he was cheated. Why open yourself up to that?

If you're on Facebook you would be very familiar with people that constantly post that one photo of that one amazingly tight group they shot once, claiming that's how good they or their rifle shoots :-)

I have shot a single 5rd 50m group of 6.5mm with one of my Ruger .22's, and a few that are sub-8mm, but those are all anomalies out of many thousands of rounds. I was actually asked by a dealer when I was collecting a pile of ammo what I thought of my Rugers. As I had shot that group just prior I told him about it. He pretty much told me I was a liar, even though I was not claiming that to be anywhere near the norm. No skin off my nose whether somebody believes me or not. Anybody that has done any shooting knows how the statistics of grouping bullets works, another 100,000rds down the tube and I might even fluke the holy grail (to some) of a neat round .223" hole for five rounds, but it won't be anything to do with my ability :-)

Mate I think the LGS will give you somewhere around half of the dollars they are trying to sell It for. Please let us know what they offer you if you’re happy to share the information. Having not seen the rifle, and going only off your description, I’d be thinking the LGS will offer you somewhere around the $300-$350. I think you would do much better if you were to sell it privately.

I guess I thought that - regardless of shooter - showcasing what the rifle was capable of might help sell a rifle. I know if I was choosing between two...and there was no discernible difference, a proven target might be the difference.
Based on what your saying BR. - might as well take the proving targets, that are sent out with some rifles, and Make paper aeroplanes.

Yeah, it is. Picked up a couple of guns last year from an older relative’s deceased estate. This looks like it hasn’t done much work, but was locked in one of those old school lockers in a shed and obviously not very well cared for on the outside. The owner wasn’t particularly interested in guns, just had gathered a few over his life I guess. I thought of getting it cerakoted and dropping it in an aftermarket stock, but not sure I can be bothered with it now.

I know the original mag was worth a fair bit - I missed out on one a while back at just over $100.
I have the same plastic mag as this one - every. Ow and again, mine won’t feed the last round.

Yep, my last round won’t feed a lot of the time either. Didn’t get a mag with it so picked up the plastic one, it’s ok, but that last round is a bugger.

i Probably wouldn’t sell it I’d redo the blueing tidy it up and keep it if I was to sell I definitely wouldn’t trade it in I don’t think a gun shop could offer you a reasonable price being they have to make a few dollars on it
id ask around Your local club you would find a m2 fan looking for one I’d say

G'day,

I lucked on a 1987 Model 2 in a local gun shop a couple of years ago for $795. It is spotless and clearly was hardly ever used 'on the farm'. It's missing, as is often the case, the rear sight, removed to fit a scope. I have put a PARD NV 008 night sight on it. I finally got around to zeroing it just a few days ago shooting with a bipod and rear bag off a bench at 50 yards. It consistently shot groups of about 5-10 cent size under bench shooting conditions with sub-sonic CCI rounds. A couple of groups had all rounds overlapping and were 5 cent size - to my surprise. Now all I have to do is wait for hunting to start again, find some rabbits and see if I can do more than scare them!

I just saw a number 2 rear sight on used guns if you wanted to make it look original again. $145 though.

G'day shootermick,

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look for that rear sight. It's a lot of money, but parts for older firearms are often hard to get, so it's probably worth the cost to bring the rifle back to factory specifications.

Marksman that looks a lovely job. Did you build the stock yourself?

I've attached a photo of mine in the gun shop. I am still amazed at how accurate it is.

By the way, are you trying to upset other deer hunters displaying your game? You haven't been sneaking out have you?

Marksman, If you've got a Model 2 rear sight, that would be great. I checked the ad on Used Guns shootermick mentioned, but it was a Model 1 version.
