The first [[Mauser]]-pattern rifle produced in [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] was the '''M24'''. Its predecessor, the '''FN Model 1924''' had been produced for the Yugoslav army by [[Fabrique Nationale de Herstal|FN Herstal]] until the Ministry and FN signed a contract on the purchase of the licence for production of rifles 7.9 mm M 24. Nearly all M24's were produced either before or during World War II, at the Kragujevac Arsenal plant. The M24 and Model 1924 are nearly identical. All M24 series weapons are designed to accept the '''M-24''' pattern bayonet.<ref name="CR"
The final additions to the M24 family were the '''M24/47''' rifle. These were produced by reworking existing prewar Serbian Model 24 Mausers and then refurbished with new parts at the [[Zastava Arms]] (formally Kragujevac Arsenal) plant, which was at that time under the control of the postwar communist government. The "47" of the M-24/47 indicated the beginning of the rebuild program of 1947. The rebuild program lasted into the early 1950s alongside new production of M48 rifles. M24 series rifles were used by the [[Royal Yugoslav Army]] and by nearly all sides during World War II in [[World War II in Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]].<ref name="CR" /><ref name="branko" />
