Line 27:

The '''FN Model 1924 series''' is a line of [[Mauser]] [[Gewehr 98]] pattern bolt-action rifles produced by the [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[FN Herstal|Fabrique Nationale]]. They are similar to the Czech [[vz. 24]] rifle, however have an intermediate length (215mm/ 8.46 in.) action, featuring open sights, [[7.65×53mm Mauser|7.65x53mm]], [[7×57mm Mauser|7x57mm]] or [[7.92×57mm Mauser|8×57mm IS]] chambering, Long rifle, Short Rifle and carbine-length barrels, hardwood stocks, and straight or curved bolt handles. This pattern rifle was discontinued from production and was no longer offered after 1932 being totally replaced by the 1930 pattern.

The '''FN Model 1930 series''' is also a line based on the [[Mauser]] [[Gewehr 98]] pattern rifles that have the standard length (223mm/ 8.8 in.) action. They feature open sights, [[7.65×53mm Mauser|7.65x53mm]], [[7×57mm Mauser|7x57mm]], [[7.92×57mm Mauser|8×57mm IS,]], [[.30-06 Springfield|.30-06]] [[Springfield Armory|Springfield]] or [[7.62×51mm NATO|7.62x51]] [[NATO]] chambering, Long rifle, Short Rifle and carbine-length barrels, hardwood stocks, and straight or curved bolt handles.

Although sometime referred to as the 24/30 model as a whole this is a misleading misnomer that shouldn't used. <ref name=":0" />
