The little-known Vz.33
Often dubbed “the light V.24” by collectors, the Czechoslovakian made Vz.33 was short-lived, with only about 25,000 of these little carbines produced at Brno between May 1934 and January 1939.
The rifle also went on to be the base design for the Brno-produced Gew 33/40, the standard carbine for the German mountain troops during the war, with sufficient quantities left over afterward to equip the Norwegian police in the 1950s.
