Description:
Czech. ZK420-S ( SOLD )Extremely Rare High Quality PROTOTYPE Semi auto rifle. Cal. 8mm. 23" Barrel. Extremely Rare Czech ZK420-S as designed by and
manufactured by brothers Josef and Frantisek Koucky. One can see that these designers must have examined the American M1 Garand and perhaps even the US M1 carbine as this gun combines several familiar features. Developed in the 1940s, the bolt head on this semi automatic rifle rotates when the charging handle/ operating rod and bolt housing move to the rear. The bolt head and extractor is very reminiscent of the US 30 M1 carbine. The safety is a lever that pivots at the forward edge of the trigger guard, much like the M1 Garand and the rifle incorporates a ten shot detachable box magazine, which in this case matches the serial; number to this specimen. The gas cylinder has a removable plug which is similar to the latter US M14 design. This rifle is marked with the familiar "Z" within a bulls-eye target logo and left hand side of the receiver "ZSK40-S" together with "ZBROJOVKA BRNO / NARODNI PODNIC". This rifle includes what appears to be an original Mauser 98K leather sling. PROVENANCE: From the Estate of World Renowned British Rifle Collector Robert W. Faris. Overall appearance and finish are extremely fine to near excellent. Grey patina receiver with remnants of oil in recessed areas giving it a straw appearance with a commensurate light grey finish on magazine and trigger guard. Bore is near excellent, shinny and bright. Wood stock , that is matching numbered, is also extremely fine to near excellent with some light handling marks mostly just on either side of the receiver. This is an exceedingly attractive and important piece of semi-automatic rifle development history which exhibits the very highest quality of workmanship, fit and finish. Serial # 0042.
