I have a very small collection of WW2 long guns and I try to grow it as I can.  As I understand these rifles were rearsenaled beginning in 1947 but the rifle itself was produced until 1941 so I myself would consider it a war used even if they modified them later but I may be wrong.  Either way I own the thing for $390 out the door.

Googling is just leading to confusion and I see many different crests and side stamping.  Can anyone further identify what I have?





Thanks folks

Looks to be a run of the mill M24/47, imported by the thousands. I had one years ago and mine still had faint markings on the side rail that weren't totally scrubbed off that showed it was originally an FN produced rifle for the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. These are intermediate length actions so they are a little bit shorter than your standard M98 action. FN produced many thousands for the Serbs in the 1920's but then a production line was set up in Serbia and they made them up until the Germans took over in 1941. Then refurbished them post war as the M24/47.

Would say you paid market. Yugo mausers aren't worth a ton because so many were imported in nice condition and they have no history behind them or it was scrubbed off the rifle when rearsenaled. They also suffer from there's a ton of bolt action rifles in the CandR category they get pushed down the list.

I have lots of yugo rifle and pistols. They are made very very well for the price.

Have a m24/47 myself. Haven't shot it but it is pretty nice with matching bolt.

I loved mine.  Haven’t shot it in years, but it handled well.  

I have never liked the Mauser style rear sight.  I bought an extra rear on eBay or Numrich and filed the Vnotch square to see the front sight easier.  A small adjustment, but it helped me a lot.

I'll agree with the earlier posters.  Yugo's get less respect due to the post was refurbishment, but consequently are often in arsenal fresh condition if they were not issued in Yugoslavia's post break up civil war.

A great value for the price in my opinion.
