Yes, Brno made a Model 2 in 1977 as well as many other years. So what sort of info are you after. "Any information" is like asking if the sky is blue.

Is the Brno #2 1977-452 model a genuine BRNO or was the 77 model made in the Cz / BRNO . factory (technically, they're one and the same company).
I am chasing one that doesn't have the CZ stamped on it


Okay....

I don't know when Brno's changed labels to the newer designation of CZ Brno but I have a 1965 Brno and did own a 1985 Brno Model 2E. Sometime after that they started with the CZ-Brno I think... not sure. Beside that, it's the same company. Realize that the CZ is Československá zbrojovka where they are made...ie it's a location hence Brno CZ or vis versa. Neither of them have CZ stamped on them anywhere.

My Brno Model 2 1965 is in as new mint condition, well looked after and is as accurate as a very expensive custom target rifle. I did shoot a lot of 200 Yard competition with my Brno and boy did I get some strange comments from others when they spotted what I was using and beating their custom rifle.

If you read the Wiki you will see that sometime around 2006 there was a change in the company and possibly this is when the CZ started to be included with the models being CZ Brno. The quality in my view did not change, I have a few CZ 527's plus a few Sako's and Tikka's and there is not much difference in accuracy. The CZ 527's being based on a Mauser Action are rather clunky and not anywhere as slick as say a Sako but big difference in price.

Do a Google on Brno and you will find a lot about the history of the company to what it is today.

Have a look at this site for a lot of extra information....

Get a photo of it or look yourself but on the Barrel it should just say BRNO... however as far as I know they all have Československá stamped on the side of the action since that's where they were made. Location not company logo.

This was my 1985 Brno Model 2E...

If you look at the "Logo" in front of the "BRNO" in the circle then that is "CZ" ....
