Was looking at an 98 action marked cz with thumb notch and mill(weight reduction)cuts along the
outside of the mag box. looks like standard 98 bolt. Anyone with info on this action. thanks

Old A, I have a small ring 98 that has the mill cuts along the outside of the receiver just under the woodline. Mine' a G33/40. I wish it was original because they are worth alot to a collector. They were originally 8X57 and were issued to the mountain troops. Mine is clearly marked G33/40 on the side of the receiver. Hope this helps.

Any other markings to help us ID this action? - Dan

My G33/40 does not say CZ on it anywhere nor does it have any manufacturers designation. It has 1940 on the rear portion of the front ring.

vip, I am sure you know that those actions are still very desireable and valuable for a custom rifle. If you wish to sell or trade, send me an email.

My rifle is at the engravers right now but it sounds like maybe a VZ-33, the original Czech. small ring 98 for mountain troops and police. The Nazi's later designated it the G33/40. Just my guess.

Thanks guys I'm going to look at it again this weekend maybe I'll get lucky and come home with it.

Cutomstox, thanks for the offer but mine has a Lothar Walther barrel threaded on it and is ready to be chambered for a 6.5X55.
