== History ==
The first [[Mauser]] rifle produced in [[Yugoslavia]] was the '''M24'''. Its predecessor, the '''Model 1924''' had been produced for the Yugoslav army by [[CZ]] and [[FN]]. Nearly all M24's were produced either before or during World War II, and all were manufactured at the [[Zastava]] plant. The M24 and Model 1924 are nearly identical.<ref>http://www.marstar.ca/Y-E-24+.htm</ref>
<br />The final additions to the M24 family were the '''M24/47''' and '''M24/52''' rifles. Both were produced after World War II at the [[Zastava]] plant, which was at that time under the control of the postwar communist government. "47" and "52" indicate the first year of production for each respective model: 1947 for the M24/47 and 1952 for the M24/57. Minor cosmetic differences exist between the M24/47 and M24/52, but the rifles are nearly identical to one another and to their predecessors, the Model 1924 and M24.<ref>http://www.marstar.ca/Y-E-24+.htm</ref>
<br />No M24 series rifle saw significant action in any major conflict.
