This video examines the rare prototype Hungarian 33M bolt-action rifle, a precursor to the 35M. Developed after Hungary's separation from Austria-Hungary, the 33M aimed to improve upon the M95 carbine's straight-pull bolt, which could be problematic in cold weather. The prototype featured intricate machining and delicate elements like a sliding bolt dust cover and a large oil bottle in the buttstock. While these elaborate features were eventually simplified for the adopted 35M, the 33M represents a significant step in Hungarian small arms development.
