Recent find at Cabela's of all places.....

[Hal O'Peridol]

I drove down to Cabela's in Marysville, WA looking for a bow for my daughter. I stopped by the gun area to look around and saw a Mauser carbine in the rack. I picked it up to look and saw that it was a Czech made VZ33 (VZ 16/33). Small lightened carbine made for the Finance and Customs officers. I had only seen one other of these still in military trim in over 30 years of collecting. Needless to say I did not let go of it, and it came home with me. These rifles were the predecessor to the German G33/40.

I check Cabela's only once. Bout flipped out over the prices and never went back again.

That's a really nice rifle.

Neat! Saw several in Mess-O-potamia, however, the crest was usually polished off (or nearly so) for some unknown reason. Would have been nice to have a bring-back program like in the past, alas.
