Gebirgsjäger Gewehr


This is a German G33/40. You may think it looks similar to a Kar98, but it isn't. It isn't even German, it's Czech. It was manufactured by the Czechs for the Germans for use as a carbine for their mountain troops, or Gerbirgsjäger. This one is something very special though, having a ZF41 low-power, long eye relief scope over the rear sight.

You can see another modification that isn't on the Kar98, the extra plate near the butt of the rifle. It was used as a climbing aid.
The very short barrel can be seen very well here, along with the extended butt plate.
