After the Second World War, Yugoslavia reworked many of its older Mauser rifles into the M24/47. This used example is in very good condition, with a leather sling included and no box. It is chambered in 8x57mm Mauser, with a 23.4-inch barrel and a five-round magazine, and it has a black finish with a wood stock.

The M24/47 is based on the Model 1924 Mauser, with updates after the war. It uses the strong Mauser 98 action with controlled-round feed. The rifle is a straightforward bolt action, and it is easy to take care of. For those who like to shoot their surplus, ammunition in 8mm Mauser is available.

The sling is a nice extra, since a leather sling suits a rifle of this age. It makes the rifle easier to carry in the field, and it helps with steadiness at the range if you learn to use it as a shooting aid.

When it arrives, check the bore and the bolt, and look for matching numbers on the parts. Examine the stock for cracks. Start with a few rounds of standard ammunition. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
