Here is a rare 1937 VZ 12/33 mountain Mauser carbine rifle. I found this Rifle on an auction site and knew I had to have it to bring it back to life again. Only 25,311 were ever made until they changed the variant that led to the Gewehr 33/40. I really enjoyed this challenge and learning a little history along the way.

When he got the gun it was worthless and whoever did that job before this gentleman got it was bad he actually restored the rifle to make it look beautiful and glow again!!!🎉
Thank you very much for the kind words and thanks for watching!
My grandfather was a gunsmith who took many cheap, military surplus Mauser rifles and converted them to sporters. I remember him telling me - "The Mauser 98 action is the best there is". I have both restored military rifles and built custom long-range rifles from a surplus M98 action. Re-chambering a Mauser is very simple with the extractor cut relief in the action and not cut into the barrel. The historic Model 98 action was the basis for the Springfield M1903, the Winchester M70, and the Remington 700. The Mauser brothers Paul and Wilhelm probably did not know at the time that they designed an action that would last more than a century.
Very cool, thanks for all the info I enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
These Czech Mausers from the mid-30s are sweet. Excellent metalurgy, great barrels, slick actions and nice 2 stage triggers.
You know your stuff, thanks for watching!
the tolerances were very good on them too.
Thank you for showing the bore as part of the process! Yeah most of the Czech Mauser rifles are in 7.92 x 57 mm more often called 8 mm Mauser, while a LOT of the various South American contract Mauser rifles were in 7 x 57 mm like yours! It's a great round and you've done a fantastic job bring that one back to shooting condiion.
Thanks for the info we appreciate it and Thanks for watching

@@TheKinzlerBrosspecial thanks for you, remember "always be careful with weapons, take care of safety during test firing (it's good that you do test firing like this), remember I subscribed to you because of your thoroughness in the restoration and test firing of the weapon you repaired at the end of the video because that's why the purpose of restoration is for the weapon to return in good condition, function well and can be used and preserve its historical value, unlike some restorers, get a good and good weapon for restoration but its function is damaged and turned into a toy. lose value and destroy the historical value of reason for neutralization. The weapon is just trash that has no value and is useless for restoration.

Snapping the bolt back together is the most satisfying sound.
Ya for sure! Thanks for watching
Aku baru beberapa hari menemukan channel ini dan aku sangat tertarik.
Ternyata senjata itu tidak akan pernah usang kalo ditangan orang yang tepat..
Bagus.. 👍👍
Glad you found us, we appreciate the support and kind words! Thanks for watching
@@TheKinzlerBros sama-sama bro dan siapa tahu suatu saat nanti kamu bukan cuma merestorasi senjata klasik tapi menjadi perancang senjata yang canggih..

Love your video. No music.just the sound of the tools. 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
As usual another great video, very therapeutic watching you restoring old guns !!!
Thank you very much we appreciate it!
Beautiful job , always enjoyable watching professionals plying their trade , I wince at some attempts I see on other RUclips channels , must be very rewarding seeing the before and after firearm .
Thank you very much, absolutely very satisfying. Thanks for watching!
My one of my first restorations was a 1916 Erfurt Kar 98 mine was in as miserable shape. With a lot of elbow grease ( I had no access to a bead box), and nearly a gallon of BLO I was totally surprised at how good it came out. As always excellent work.
That's cool, ya the bead blasting helps a lot. Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Nice work! That stock would have been a good candidate for scraping with some flat metal instead of sanding since it was loading up that sandpaper so fast. Saves some time and material that way.
I was aware of the Czech G33/40 mountain carbine (our Grandfather brought one home after WWII and we still have it) but I wasn't aware of this rifle at all.
Cool video!
Thank you very much and thanks for the tip we appreciate it, That is very cool that you have one as well, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros No prob, you do a great job
Designed for Czechoslovakian Gendarmerie as vz16/33 to replace obsolete Mannlicher M95 rifles. Variant 12/33 was for South America export.
Thanks for the info and for watching we appreciate it!
Beautiful
Thank you
Nice restoration.. Here in Brazil we still use a variant like this in the very basic training, its a Mq M968, almost like this one, but the aim is the drum-like one (like the MP5) and they are chambered in 4 7.62x51 NATO rounds
Thank you very much, Yeah they are a reliable firearm, This one is chambered in 7 x 57, thanks for watching!
This guy really knows how to take apart a rifle
Takes a lot of practice, thanks for watching!
Gut gemacht nicht überrestauriert.
Der Charakter der Waffe ist erhalten geblieben
Thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Great job you really brought it back to its former glory, but if it was up to me i would not have removed the old blueing i would just have boild the metal pieces to restore the old blueing, Mark Novak has som good videos on how to do that.
But else then that you did a fantastic job with the new blueing it looks just like the original but stil best to keep the original.
I hear you and I know where you're coming from, thank you very much and thanks for watching
Beautiful restoration of the rifle
Thank you very much
6:30 save the sandpaper! Start with glass and scrape. Nice job, Love Brno's.
Right, thanks we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I remember seeing those rifles on that auction site, might have to get me one now.
Ya hopefully there is still one left, thanks for watching!
After cold blueing you are suppose to coat everything in oil, you should have blued again after the Polish aswell :)
Thanks for the advice and for watching!
Another fine Specimen! Thanks for the share!
Thanks for watching!
Chemical stripping of the furniture rather than sanding helps to keep the character. Great looking results though.
That's what I hear, thanks we appreciate it!
Oven cleaner @@TheKinzlerBros
Well done! The patina came out nicely.
Thank you we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
When you loaded that single round you really stress the claw extractor by not feeding from the mag. That stiffness when the bolt snapped close was the extractor snapping over the rim of the cartridge. I’ve fixed a many of Mausers with broken extractors because unaware owners push a single loaded round into the chamber like that.
Thank you very much for the tip we appreciate it, thanks for watching
I don't understand your comment. The Mauser's bolt was made specifically with such a long extractor in mind solely for the fact that it's more durable and bends slightly sideways in case the extractor needs to go over the rim of a stuck cartridge and not damage both the rim & the extractor. It was part of the design. It would be harmful if the extractor was directly fixed / milled into the bolt like, say, a Mousqueton Berthier.
Well I’m sorry you don’t understand. It can be hard to be perfectly clear typing on the phone sometimes.
The Mauser bolt is not like most extractors where there is a central pivot point with a spring in the rear so it can snap over the rim without breaking the cartridge rim resulting in an extraction failure.
The Mauser bolt IS fix. It is meant to slip around the rim of the cartridge as it rises out of the magazine. This allows it to hold the round against the bolt when the bolt travels forwards and backwards.
@James T Kirk makes sense. So when you load a single round from the top into the chamber, then push the bolt forward, the extractor don't want that round there it didn't help put there in the first place!
I got an M48 mauser that doesn't always extract. Could that be why? The casing always leaves the extractor claw but doesn't always fly out.
Dude I ran across that page as well. I bought one and I was trying to look up videos and came across yours. Awesome stuff man. Hopefully I can do right by this. You breathed new life back into the gun. I have restored something like 18 firearms over the course of 6 years. And they have never turned out as well as this.
Crazy!, Thank you very much I appreciate the kind words and I wish you luck on yours hopefully it turns out great, thanks for watching!
Interesting restoration. However, I wouldn't exactly call your bluing method cold. You did use heat.
Thanks, ya but, that is how you cold blue. Thanks for watching!
You boys are getting very good at this excellent job you saved another one from the scrap yards keep up the amazing work six stars my friends
Thank you very much Joseph we appreciate your support and thanks for watching!
The germans liked the idea of these small mausers. I got a small ring mauser G33/40 marked ‘’dot’’ , made in 1942 by Brno for the germans, they called it gebirgsjägerkarabine i believe.
Very cool thanks for watching
The factory was in Czechoslovakia in Brno! Brno is Second biggest city in Czech Republic! No Germany! Germany start occupaied rest Czechoslovakia in 15 March 1939.
Great looking rifle. Awesome job. Really impressive 👍
Thank you very much
I love how most of the old guns just come apart like that with the trigger group like the M1 Garands... The old timers really knew how to make a great gun with simple mechanics. Also, I have to be "that guy" with this... "This one will be cold blued" *Pulls out a blow torch*
That's how you cold blue, now we hot blue. Thanks for watching!
Incredible. What a piece of history that rifle must be.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching
Very nice restoration. Thanks for the awesome video
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love that gun! Stellar job my friends! Happy new years to you both!
Thanks buddy we appreciate it happy New Year to you too
I really loved this firearm.
Absolutely awesome!
It came out better than I thought it would .
Thank you very much I appreciate it
Amazing restoration!
Thank you very much!
For what you started with, Great job. Your smithing boggles my mind
Yeah it was in rough shape, thank you very much I appreciate it and thanks for watching
Good Post. When restoring, have you ever DREMELED somewhere on the INSIDE of the furniture your name and date if restoration ? What do you use in a sand blasting cabinet; sand ( SILICON DIOXIDE ), lime ( CALCIUM CARBONATE ) or micro-fine glass beads ? Do you have any recommendations for filling in the pitting and gouges on metal parts left by exposure to the elements and rust? Restoring sometimes lowers thd value of a firearm. Never-ths-less, short of finding or fabricating new "furniture", what would you recommend I do on the wood of my badly battered 1895 Chilean 7x57 LOEWE BERLIN MAUSER. If a split/crack in a stock being restored is clean through, a piece of unwaxed dental floss soaked in slow setting epoxy gets adhesive deep into the interior of a split. Remove the floss and clamp for at least 48 hours. Canvas fragment dripping wet over some deep dents and a hot clothes upon can sometimes cause the deeply dented wood to pop back up.
Oh wow well. That sounds like to already have a solution. I mean I would leave it alone or redo it. Maybe clean out the cracks then leave them alone. Shows character. But if you want to fire it then its a different circumstance.
It is amazing how quiet the detonation is!
The volume is turned down a little, thanks for watching!
Whatever collector value this rifle had is gone forever. I can't believe you sand blasted it!
I preserved it so it can be used for another 100 and some years thanks for watching!
May I suggest that you try using a scraper on the wood first before using sandpaper.. And if you do use sandpaper, you should wrap if around a hard sponge or a similar type of backer. Using sandpaper with just your finger pressure will result in uneven levels of sanding. Otherwise great job!
Thanks for the advice and tips, thanks for watching!
El trato de la madera es muy mejorable.
Ya maybe but, not by much! Thanks for watching
very nice !!! on wood that old in that bad of shape i would have soaked it in a stablizer for a few days.
Thanks for the advice and for watching!
Give Citri-strip or Oven Off a try on the wood stocks. Cleans them up nicely.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
its so satisfying looking you using clip to load it, so smooth! thanks for making this video!
Thank you very much, glad you like it! Thanks for watching
Nice save! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Please,scraper before sanding(by hand).Please
Thanks for the tip
Should have used a card scraper on the stock instead of sandpaper, they dont gum up like sandpaper, and it allows you to keep the sharp edges of the rifle.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
Super job to a rare weapon😎👌🏼
Thank you very much
Only one test fire shot before putting it up on your shoulder you sir are braver then I
More than one test shot went through just does not all get in the video. Thanks for watching
Чехи - одни из лучших оружейников мира ,с вековыми традициями !!!
I have no doubt they are beautiful guns thanks for watching
Wow a mauser in those times a Mauser it was the best gun
Ya they were good, thanks for watching!
Beautiful looking job 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice 👍🏽
Thanks!
i had to redo a 1935 peruvian mauser i bought from a friend at work. i had to redo the stock. i had an old missouri conservation magazine and they recommended vaseline to seal the stock against the weather. i did what they recommended and i am glad i did.
That's awesome, great gun. Thanks for watching and for the tip
This rusty and filthy piece was definitely not worth the expense.
Thanks for watching and for your opinion
Unbelievable I have to tell you this but some things in life are worth a little more than expenses to some people.
@@REIBAHLE Yes, but this isn´t one of them. That´s just rusty crap.
Congratulations Master.. With respect and love from Türkiye..
Welcome Turkey and thank you very much we appreciate it, thanks for watching
Nice restoration, one minor detail though, generally the bolt bodies were left in the white.
Thank you very much and thanks for the side note
You brought her back to life. Nice job!
Thank you very much
You should check out mark Novak and how he uses a scraper to clean up gunked up stocks. One reason he does it is so his sandpaper doesn’t get immediate clogged and lose its cutting ability like yours seemed to
Ya I have, thanks for watching
Absolutely great work !! ❤❤
Thanks a lot!
That wood is probably going "AAAAAHHHHH"😁
Right!, thanks for watching
Fez um bom restauro, parabéns.
🇧🇷. 👍.
Thank you very much
Cool little rifle!!🍻👍👍
I love it
You should try vintage bright bore stock finish. It will give the stock a nice vintage look after a light sanding.
Thanks for the tip!
You are a amazing craftsman, bravo..
Thank you very much!
Lots of work! Looks good!!
Yes, thank you very much!
Krásná práce, Mauser vz33, karabiny českých četníků ❤, podobná je karabina vz24 a ta byla pro vojsko ❤
Thank you very much and yes you are correct, thanks for watching we appreciate it!
Sweet looking Mauser. Great work
Thank you very much we appreciate it
Love the restoration the only thing I could say is that if you use a rolled spring steel scraper like the guys over at anvil the wood finish comes off without taking of any of the wood
Thank you very much and thanks for the advice, thanks for the support and for watching!
Hey question if it did have the bayonet how would you recommend restoring it? I have that same type of rifle and mine has the bayonet.
Do your research and go with your instincts, thanks for watching
Thanks for the reply 👍
Nice work, as always!
Thank you very much!
Great jop you best Congratulations
Thank you very much we appreciate it
Nice caliber, nice rifle, well done!
Thank you very much, we appreciate it
The 7x57 cal is the modern 7mm-08
I wouldn't trade my old 7x57 for anything extremely accurate and deadly
They are close but no, the 7 x 57mm is not the same as the 7mm-08 Remington. The 7 x 57mm is longer than the 7mm-08 Remington which is actually only 51mm as it is based on the 7.62 x 51mm NATO round necked down to 7mm.
@@robbylock1741 yes I know,I build rifles and I've designed a few wildcat rounds the 7x57 was based on the 8x57 the German equivalent of our 06 I have some factory ammo from Norma in 7x57 that pushes 3300 fps with a TSX bullet,We just built a 556 caliber round based on a 7 mag case that pushes a 556 bullet at just shy of 5000 fps
@@Graderman3587 Um actually, the 7 x 57mm which came out in 1892 is an OLDER round than the 7.92 x 57mm which came out in 1903. It was the 7 x57mm round used in the Model 1893 "Spainish" Mauser, in the Spanish American war that prompted the development of the Springfield Model of 1903 and the development of the .30-03 cartridge that was then modified to become the .03-06. You build rifles, I collect vintage military rifles and books on vintage military rifles and their history.
They are very cool guns thanks for watching
I'm at 0:37 and this is gonna be interesting. Never done a restoration. But I own a vast variety of firearms. Can't wait to see what you do to this beauty of a firearm..
Hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching!
😂
Beautiful job....awsome
Thank you very much
Good
Thanks!
It’s amazing this rifle finished out so well. And is working great. This lighter weight mountain style is. Very appealing. How much did it cost in the trashed out condition?
Thank you very much, it was around $380. Thanks for watching
Nice resto!
Thank you!, thanks for watching
I would have loved to see filling in of the wood and metal pitting for reinforcement. That was deep pitting.
Ya I like the character it gives it, thanks for watching!
Love what your doing
Thank you, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Please take some lessons from Mark Novak 🙏
Thanks for the advice and for watching
9:52 "Evaporust not pee". Maybe beer, perhaps...
Haha right! Thanks for watching
I would have started on the stock with calcium carbonate and acetone to leech all the dirt and oil out before sanding it. Save yourself a lot of work!
Thanks for the advice, we appreciate it
CALCIUM CARBONATE ( Limestone ) is mildly abrasive, ACETONE ( Dimethyl ketone or 2-Propanone ) should remove deeply penetrating gunk. gunk. Have you ever tried ACETONE blended with ETHANOL, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL or some hydrocarbon like lighter fluid or 60-100 weight PETROLEUM ETHER on a soft cotton cloth to soak up the gunk? I wonder if MINWAX PRE-STAIN TREATMENT vigorously rubbed in could also be used.
Very nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Why do you not oil the parts before assembly, it will rust again?
I do, thanks for watching!
So how long does it take you to restore an average gun?
The ones I do on the channel, like 25 hours
Nice restoration but you forgot to remove the spring ring of the handguard around the barrel before blasting. Normally the ring has two little screws and is placed where the foam was.
Like a spanish La Coruna Mauser.
Thanks, ya sometimes you miss stuff. Thanks for watching!
Wow, awesome job!
Thanks!
Beautiful gun and amazing restoration work. Kept it functional and true.
Thank you, we appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
@@TheKinzlerBros qq - after dipping the hot metal part in the blueing solution, how long does it stay there?
You then transfer it into the water container - is it just a quick wash or it stays there for some time?
Thanks
Really nice restoration of this Mauser. Most of the time the contract mausers instead of being 7.92 or 8mm. Yours is 7 x 57. I have a Chilean mauser that was a contract mauser and it is 7x 57. Still a very nice operating rifle. Great job
Thank you very much, yes they are beautiful guns. Thanks for watching!
Well done.
Thank you very much!
Good save
Thank you!
very nice. good job.
Thank you very much!
I also have this pre WW2 adventure drama TV series in mind. It's called Tales of the Gold Monkey. This TV series was definitely set in the post great depression America. Such as from 1937 to 1939.
Interesting, thanks for watching!
Another great restore (catching up to your videos). That stock was was horrible! Great job not sanding the thing down so that inlay parts don't work! Seen some sanded down stocks that were worse than when they started!
Ya me too, thank you very much, thanks for watching
Great work!
Thanks!
