Pre-World War II YUGOSLAVIAN MILITARY Model 1924 MAUSER SHORT Rifle C&R
First Mauser Pattern Rifle Produced in Yugoslavia
Here we present a C&R Yugoslavian Model 1924 Mauser Short Rifle, made circa the 1930s. This original Model 1924 rifle was used extensively during World War II. The M24/47 was produced again from 1947 through the early 1950s and used by the Yugoslav military. What we have here is basically a Mauser K98k built in Slavic regions.
The first Mauser-pattern rifle produced in Yugoslavia was the Model 1924. Its predecessor, the FN Model 1924 had been produced for the Yugoslav army by FN Herstal until the Ministry and FN signed a contract on the purchase of the license for production of rifles. 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-24/48 pattern bayonet.
The final additions to the Model 24 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. M24 series rifles were used by the Royal Yugoslav Army and by nearly all sides during World War II in Yugoslavia.
It is a Mauser 98 knockoff that was manufactured at the Kragujevac Arsenal in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia and now Serbia) beginning in 1924. After World War II, many existing M24s were rebuilt with new 23.4-inch barrels and stocks of walnut, teak, or other available hardwood. Since the project kicked off in 1947, the rebuilds were dubbed M24/47s. A lot of these rifles were churned out of the Kragujevac Arsenal, which is now renamed “Zastava”, continuing into the early ’50s. However, as the newer standard-issue Mauser Model 48 became readily available, most of the reconfigured M24/47 battle rifles saw little use. These were well-made Mauser rifles that remain very desirable today!
