Persian BRNO M49 Mauser Carbine – 8mm Mauser (8×57) – Excellent Condition – Sale or Trade

I would consider selling or trading for a quality hunting rifle plus the difference.

Offered for sale or trade is a Persian-contract BRNO Mauser M 49 (short barrel) chambered in 8mm Mauser (8×57 IS). Manufactured by the renowned Czech arms maker Zbrojovka Brno, these rifles are widely regarded among collectors as some of the finest Mauser 98 variants ever produced, noted for their exceptional machining, deep bluing, and beautifully marked Persian Farsi inscriptions.

This short-barrel model combines the legendary strength and reliability of the Mauser action with excellent handling characteristics. The rifle remains in very good to excellent condition, with a strong bore, matching military heritage, and well-preserved finish. Persian BRNO Mausers have become increasingly collectible due to their limited numbers, historical significance, and superior craftsmanship compared to many contemporary military surplus rifles.

Unlike the military-oriented 8mm Mauser, modern hunting rifles are generally lighter, often equipped for optics, and designed specifically for sporting use. The BRNO, however, offers a unique combination of historical value, collectibility, and shooting performance that modern hunting rifles cannot replicate.
