Has anybody orderd a stock from McMillan for a BRNO ZG47?
They come in various barrel configurations, so I just wonderd if they inlett for them all? Or one specific?
I have the standard mod, solderd on back sight.. wich is attached through the stock.

I would be very surprised if they made one given the market size. I would get ahold of Doc at MPI. I am sure he will make you one as I have an "odd" one about to go to him.

We do not have the inlet program for the ZG47.

Having a gunsmith mill out a flat top is the only choice then I pressume?
How difficult is it for somebody to do so? Chipping the outer shell? Should I paint the stock afterwards?
What stocks are most used for Mauser actions? Sako Classic?

I have one on my 9,3 and expecting another for my -06.
Interarms MkX both of them. Works great!

The ZG47 is an m/98 - it's as simple as that. The differences are no greater than the differences between two military m/98 actions. The inlet for the bottom metal will differ a bit from an MkX but it's not something anyone without five thumbs on each hand can not fix....

Putting a McMillan stock on a rifle with the class and pedigree of yours is just WRONG.

I disagree. I had an m21, and putting a mcmillan on THAT would have been wrong. The ZG:s are good, but if you want to get the best use of them, put a better stock on them. The stocks are bulky and not nice to use with scopes mounted. Having a MKx stock on them, makes them top modern but still hand made...

rifle: First of all, i live in Europe. If you can change the rules for gunshipping, I will be glad to make money by selling ZG:s to you folks over there. I`ll simply buy them for the prices they go for here, and sell them to you for the prices over there! Second, why should I sell my two? They are of the best I can afford, at least with the "improvement" I have made by putting them in Mcmillans. Yes, I USE my rifles...

I can agree with your situation,I just have a hard time with plastic on such a fine rifle.I use mine every year too.They are not seen here much and so far,I have bought the four I have been able to put my hands on.
The world is a funny thing sometimes.....carry on

I have seen ZGs go for $500.. I bought mine for $1200. HVA 640s with FN action for $300. I could sell you a spare stock? What does those go for in the States? The ZG is utilitarian.. it has all the desirable attributes I want in a action, except a 1 piece bottom metall. Its not perfectly finnished, still with small tooling marks. It does not need a walnut stock. Its made for hunting, hence a hunters stock However McMillans are expensive over here. $1500 custom fitted with pillars.

Asti, I echo your sentiment on working rifles. I actually like the looks of a good fiberglass stock. The 2 calibers that you have are my 2 main go to rifles...30/06 and 9.3x62 Husqvarna commercial Mausers. I like them a lot. I've only seen one ZG47 and that was in Rapid City several years ago. I'd like to see your 2 ZGs if you wouldn't mind putting them up for us.

Yep, I`ll try posting pics when they are completed. I am just waiting for the -06 to get its Mcswirly, after that I`ll post. The 9.3 is topped with a 1.1-4 Swaro with CD-I reticle and the -06 has a 2.5-10 Swaro with 4N-Illuminated reticle. They make apretty good pair!

Nortman, The ZG 47 is just a good commercial standard size 98 mauser. The only thing different is the dovetails on tht top of the receiver rings. One of my books lists it as a small ring and one lists it as a large ring. Tell us what the front right diameter is and we can do a 95% inlet for you just like all the other 98 varients.
