I picked one of these 1968 Brno zp 149 guns up for next to nothing years ago after reading about guy making big caliber rifles from them since they were so strong, something about barrel lumps made to fit action front and back.
These guns have poldi elektro steel chopper lump barrels, bushed firing pins, coil spring sidelocks and ejectors this one’s metal is well 99% and wood just needs some shaping checkering and refinish. I bought it to make a 16ga duck and goose gun out of,barrels choked .018 and .024 bores prestine. Any way I just bought another one for even less, that’s on the way. It’s wood looks a little rough but metal looks pretty good. I have thought of cch, 2 barrel set or a matched pair? Both gun are same model looks like close in years don’t have serial number yet. What do you guys think would be a good fun use of these 2. Maybe even some modest engraving?
I would like your thoughts? Are these junk or even worth the effort?
