One of the first rifles I shot (the first was TOZ-8 but they share the same bolt with 17-01). Nostalgie!

The rifle itself is pretty accurate. They were manufactured from mid-1950ies to the end of 1980ies; early production might have short number (some 4 or 5 digits) but they had the year of manufacture stamped separately. If it has a longer number then 2 last digits should be the year as far as I remember. Check that it comes with magazines - they are quite difficult to find.

Here is the English manual if need it:

thanks for that Slav... as far as i know it has a short number.... 5 digits if i remember correctly.... and i think the first three where 125##... he had a magazine with it too..... and although your manual says 5 shoot capacity... i think he was able to get 6 into the mag...... by the way your link was excellant.. thank you..:):)

No problem

Btw, Anschutz semi-auto 10 round magazines should fit this rifle as well.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. But I have one of these rifles and its in good nick. My friend who's a carpenter re-finished the stock for me. I have one magazine for it and it shoots OK. The only damage is there's a hole where I had drilled underneath to put on a bipod that I had on that before. Anyone know how much these would go for? I'm thinking of selling it. I can get pictures up if needed.
