CR Hound 263 active member CR Hound 263 Jun 26, 2004 3 2004-06-26T09:31 Mauser Military Rifles of the World third edition page 108 lists the Romanian contract being from 1938 - 194 and having observed serial number prefixes AR through YR. I would assume your TR rifle was toward the end of the contract. I dont know when the contract ended, but I would guess it ended before Russia over ran Romania in 1944. ![]() It is therefore likely that rifles in the TR block were made in the 1940-1941 time frame. By 1941, the rifle plants in Brno, then in the Bohemia-Moravian Protectorate (which was incorproatted into greater Germany), and the Povaszka Bystrica plant, in the fascist Slovak Republic (allied with Germany), were producing G.24ts and preparing their production lines for manufacturing the Kar98k. It is likely that Vz.24 production did not go beyond 1941 except for a few G24ts. However, we do not have any documentation to support a clear end date for V.24 production itself so we have to guess. Thats why I left a question mark in the Brno production table I prepared for Bob Ball.

Does this have a stylized M around C inside it I have an HR serial block V.24 with the same circle with a stylized M around C (Copsa Mica) above the serial. Is this the Copsa Mica Romania mark, and is it likely that it was stamped there when the crest was scrubbed rhreck 8 new member rhreck 8 Jun 27, 2004 6 2004-06-27T19:51 The circle stamp you mentioned on my gun is in fact a circle with an M and a C superimposed.

JohnnWall 39 active member JohnnWall 39 Jun 28, 2004 7 2004-06-28T02:39 Hi Ralph and CR Hound, Yes, the mark on this rifle is the Romanian CM acceptance mark standing for Copsa Mica, the arms factory in the city of Cugir, which was established and owned by Ceskoslovenska Zbrojovka Brno. Regards, John TwistJg26 151 active member TwistJg26 151 Jul 24, 2004 8 2004-07-24T17:47 So mine that is a SR series would also been for the Romanians. Jul 25, 2004 9 2004-07-25T02:35 Hey Reck. ![]() Mines a sniper version with dovetail cuts for a scope mount where the crest would be, so no crest on mine, also dovetail by the bolt release. I had to aim at the crotch to get center of mass hits at the sight starts at 300 meters.
