BRNO Effect

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.

This is a subcategory of handgun mounts. At Optics Trade, we use the term adapter plate to refer to mounts either:

installed in the place of the rear sight (non-optic-ready handguns) or
those fixed on a milled slide (optic-ready handguns).

In this subcategory, there are also mounting standard converter plates, for example, plates that convert Trijicon RMR mounting standard to the Docter Sight mounting standard.

Before you purchase an adapter plate, make a compatibility check – inspect its top and bottom surface.

Its top surface is usually specified with the name of a red dot sight that has a familiar mounting standard, such as Docter sight, Aimpoint Micro, C-more RTS, Shield RMS/SMS, Trijicon RMR – this is written in the name or in the description of the adapter plate. Some adapter plates are compatible with several mounting standards; they are supplied with removable pins that the user can move from one position to another (adapter plates made by Tony System, Outer Impact, and some other companies).

The mounting surface below is usually specified with the name of the handgun on which it can be mounted. Some handguns, such as Sig Sauer P320, are manufactured in both optic-ready and non-optic-ready versions (depending on the version), so you must be careful to choose the correct mount. Adapter plates designed for non-optic-ready handguns are meant to be installed in the place of the rear sight whereas the adapter plates for optic-ready handguns fit directly into the milled slide of the optic-ready handgun.

Follow the instructions of the handgun manufacturer when mounting or have it mounted by a gunsmith.

Adapter plates are almost exclusively made from aluminium, except for certain components which are (sometimes) made from steel.
