[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2905873, member: 109862"] One thing I’ll add to my affection of these guns, particularly the European ones in this case, is the quality of the metal bluing. I ain’t that old but I hear an old man speaking when I say “they don’t make them like this anymore”. The husky had obviously been used hard before I got it, the wood has suffered damage and there’s marks and scratches and such…and both it and the brno have not even a hint of rust anyway or signs of the blueing deteriorating at all. I’ve seen no shortage of guns, both American and European, made later than 1990 that started exhibiting such signs, some within 5 years of their owner buying them - savage and Bergera being especially guilty - yes bergara, a friend has one IN STAINLESS that started rusting on him. And I live in Saskatchewan. It’s not a particularly humid place and certainly not a salty one haha, except for the roads in the winter after the salt truck goes by. Absolutely zero reason for that. But the quality just isn’t the same. That BRNO zg47 especially…made in Czechoslovakia in 1956, just a tremendously well made piece of equipment. Built to last. [/QUOTE]
