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.
