8mm- 338 mauser brno

(1/2) > >>

puzzle:
I have a cz 8mm mauser that was rechambered to take the 338 win mag brass. ( I will post picks soon) But i was told that it is old and rare. After the word brno it has A.S. i was told that it ment Afician Safri but I dont know for sure can any one point me in  the right direction. Thanks 

xausa:
If your rifle is a BRNO ZKK 602, chances are it was originally an 8X68 which someone rechambered in order to use American brass. If it's not, and just a military Mauser, you now have an 8mm/.338, which should be a pretty nice little cartridge. I know of no "African Safari" designation for a ZKK 602.

puzzle:
thanks for the info it helps a lot

xausa:
I would love to see the photos. If you can't post them on line, you can email them to wtwiii(at)wk.net.

According to The Greenhill Dictionary of Guns and Gunmakers by John Walter (2001) the original name of CZ was Ceska Zbrojovka Akc. Spol, translating as The Czeckoslovakian Arms Company Ltd. This suggests to me that AS is simply part of the company name.
And, yes, I would like to see those pictures too ,please.
