BRNO ZKB 110

The History of Brno

The history of the Brno company or Czechoslovak Armory (Československá zbrojovka) as it was known prior to WWI, began in the city of Brno in the Czech Republic, formerly known as Czechoslovakia. In 1918, the Brno Rifles factory was established. Before 1918, Brno Plant was an arsenal located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Brno started producing Mauser 98 rifles in 1920 after buying excess weapons and equipment from Mauser-Oberndorf. These Brno-produced Mausers had a 98/22 designation stamped onto the receivers marking the year of production.

In the period between WWI and WWII, Brno collaborated with the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, England to develop a well-known Bren light machine gun. They produced weapons for the Czechoslovakian and German armies during World War II. After the war, the company was nationalized by the Czechoslovakian government and renamed Zbrojovka Brno. While it was under socialist control until 1989, it switched to the production of sporting weapons which quickly gained a reputation for their reliability. For some time, the company also produced light artillery and several other products such as tractors, typewriters, and early computers.

During the years they presented numerous models of weaponry such as the ZB vz. 26 light machine gun, ZB-50 heavy machine gun, the MG34, several bolt action rifles, ZKM and ZH series, ZKR 551 handgun etc.

The company was privatized in 1990, just three years before Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Zbrojovka Brno was acquired by Česká zbrojovka (CZ) in 2008. With the new ownership, they agreed to a longer lease, which allows the business to continue production in rented facilities. They still make high-end products for hunting and competition, including pistols, single-shot and double rifles, combination rifles, as well as over/under shotguns.

Brno ZKB 110 Rifle Review

Brno ZKB 110 is a small single shot break barrel rifle manufactured by the Czech company Brno. It features a wooden stock and the interchangeable barrel system. The action and barrel are connected via a strong hinge that can be removed for easier maintenance or to change the barrel configuration. Positioned on the rear end of the action, above the handle there is a lever that opens the action when pushed to the side. The rifle is available in three grades, mostly differing in the quality of the materials such as finish, and wood used for stock.

The safety on the Brno ZKB 110 comes in the form of a circular pin placed on the front end of the trigger guard. Most models came out of the factory with preinstalled iron sights and sling swivels studs attached to the body. The rear end of the stock is equipped with a thin rubber recoil pad and the upper side of the receiver features a 14.5 mm flat top dovetail with a recoil cutout that is typical for many Brno and CZ models. The ZKB 110 is also fairly light, as it weighs just over 3000 g (6.6 lbs). Unfortunately, there is not a lot of info available about the rifle as it has become quite a rarity on the market these days.
