YUGO M24/47

These Mauser rifles are a 98 knockoff that was manufactured at the Kragujevac Arsenal in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia and now Serbia) beginning in 1924. After World War II, many existing M24s were rebuilt with new 23.4-inch barrels and stocks of walnut, teak, or other available hardwood. Since the project kicked off in 1947, the rebuilds were dubbed M24/47s. A lot of these rifles were churned out of the Kragujevac Arsenal, which is now renamed "Zastava", continuing into the early '50s. However, as the newer standard-issue Mauser Model 48 became readily available, most of the reconfigured M24/47 battle rifles saw little use. These were well-made Mauser rifles that remain very desirable today!This rifle is in very good condition as you can see from the pictures provided, especially since it's a military weapon. The rifle has matching numbers on the stock, bolt, receiver and floor plate. The hand guard has a different number - 9794. Grab this piece of history before someone else does. Purchase with confidence you will be satisfied.!!
