The '''M24 series''' is a line of [[Mauser]] pattern bolt-action [[battle rifles]] produced for use by the Yugoslavian military. They are similar to the Czech [[vz. 24]] rifle, featuring open sights, [[7.92x57mm]] chambering, carbine-length barrels, hardwood stocks, and straight bolt handles. All M24 series weapons are designed to accept the '''M-24/48''' pattern bayonet.<ref>http://www.marstar.ca/Y-E-24+.htm</ref>

== 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>

Line 8 ⟶ 10:

No M24 series rifle saw significant action in any major conflict.

== Civillian Use ==

A number of M24 series rifles have been sold to civillians, and are popular because of their low cost when compared to similar [[Mauser]] pattern rifles, such as the [[K98k]] and [[M48]]. M24 series rifles are noted for their high quality.<ref>http://www.marstar.ca/Y-E-24+.htm</ref>
