My favorite Mauser

My favorite Mauser next to my black cat - anyone know which variation in my photo ?

G33/40 German mountain carbine

Correct answer, all matching G33/40 carbine, barrel has a very good bore and is dated 12-41. About five or six years ago my friend Tom in-NJ found an original front sight cover for me which requires a tool to install. I use to use commercial 8 mm Remington in this carbine as the Remington is down-loaded, German WW2 has too much recoil

Here are two photos that I found of the really rare G33/40 with a folding stock, I believe only nine or ten examples were manufactured

I was going to say it looked like a standard black cat...
