I read somewhere once that beech was the standard and walnut was an option with the luxus as was 10 shot mags, and a straight butt.
I think checkering and Schnabel forends were optional too.
Pity they didn't offer the hogsback stock back then, they have a nicer look in my opinion.


Thanks Chappo, funny thing was when I bought it new it had this god awful dark brown stain on it which you couldn't see any gain or anything with it on, one day I just decided to sand it off and to my surprise was this beautiful looking grain under it so I then just applied some sort of veggie oil from memory and just kept putting more and more on over the years and it just kept getting better, I've used all sorts of oils on it over the years (oils oil to me I don't get fussy about it all) whatever I have around gets a run :D

Anyway she's a nice little rifle to use out poking bunnies with. :drinks:

My 54 mod 1 and 79 mod 2
The mod 1 is used regularly around the house on hares and sunday plinking. It has had a scope but i think i prefer it with the open leaf sights.
The mod 2 is "new" in original box walnut deluxe stock and still full of factory grease with the bolt and mag never fitted.
I had a baby boy earlier in the year and when i saw this mod 2 for sale i perhaps got a little excited about the idea of a hand me down rifle and bought it on an impulse.
With my luck the little bugger will be left handed!!

I hear you.
I keep going back to them.
When we were kids dad would send me and my brother up the railway tracks through the town we grew up in with a model 2 to get a feed of rabbit for tea.
Couldnt do that these days.

I saw a couple advertised as NIB earlier this year, did you get any story as to why it had never been used? In 1979 they were not anything unusual or rare. :unknown: Maybe a spare bought for a farm and never needed?

Dunno wombat, maybe.
Too many in stock in a gun shop?
Unwanted present?
All i know is that one came from a larger brno collection that was all sold off.

Makes you wonder what might be worth good money as nib in a couple of generations.
