Action looks to be anvil tough and the extractor looks unbeatable. Not looking to build off it just curious to what year it may have been built as well as other info?
Is the serial number listed above from the barrel or the action? Barrel numbers won't help. Prefix and suffix letters very important.

I think the P prefix on the receiver dates it 1924.Guy brought me a rifle that I would like to identify. The action is stamped brojovka ,Brno a.s. vz 24. The barrel looks to be after market stamped BMP 20T. Ser# pr 16081. Any help greatly appreciated. It is chambered in .308

I will take it out of stock and check. I can only send pics from my I -phone . I will check and see if it is a BNP which makes more sense .ThanksWhile your description might be slightly adequate for minimal information, any definite information requires several detailed, sharp pictures to determine anything useful. Also remove the barreled action from the stock since most of the proof marks are underneath the stock line and on the bottom of the action.
If this was BNP it would be:
British Nitro Proof 20 tonnes
All British firearms must go through the proof house (London or Birmingham) process to be legal.
How far back ? 50"sBack in the day the Mauser VZ24 action was a highly sought after custom builds. The only other one better is the Persian Mauser, same action just higher quality.
My 458 Lott was built on a Brno VZ24 by Dennis Olson. To the fellow that mentioned heat treat. 98s are not heat treated, they are case hardened. It is a fine action for a build.
So do you like your vz-24? Is it as good as the ones listed?My list of good Mauser receivers:
The Oberndorfs
1903 Turk
1909 Peruvian
1909 Argentine
1935 Argentine
Oberndorf commercial
You can add the:
VZ33
G33-40
VZ47
ZG47
The small ring Mexican by FN-M1910 or M1936
The ones by Fabrica de Armas are good
The Brevex Magnum
And last and the very desirable:
Kurz short action small ring
The most important thing to look for is lug setback.
