New to Me Yugoslavian Model 1924

[Jason60chev]

Hello Milsurp friends,

I recently purchased this Yugoslavian Model 1924. Being an auction, I ended up paying more than I wanted to, but, the rifle has all matching numbers...receiver, bolt, stock, trigger guard and magazine floor plate. It also has the Peter II stock cartouche on the butt. Bore advertised and very good and bright. I know that these rifles are not too common, as many were re-worked into the model 24/47 after WWII, thus my interest in this one and being all matching, worth a small premium.

It is a nice looking rifle, overall and I look forward to firing it whenever I get back home. In the meantime, it will reside with my FFL dealer.

That looks very nice. I have one almost identical to yours, though not all matching and the cartouche is barely visible. According to the data I have seen both of ours were manufactured in 1939.

I just bought one a few weeks ago. The condition of mine is a little better, but it is all matching except the bolt. The bolt is off by about 4,000. Most parts including stock are 251xxx, but bolt is 255xxx. Very nice rifle and yes they are hard to find in original configuration with strong original crests.

By the way........I contacted the seller, as he didn't mention in the description and I hadn't asked.......there are no import marks on this rifle. He said that he hadn't had it out of the stock, so I am hoping it isn;t duffle cut. Thanks to all for your interest in viewing.

Beautiful m1924.

Now you need a type 2 carbine

An FN m1924 with a King Alexander cartouche.

A 1924b - converted by the Yugoslavs from gew98 and Steyr surplus rifles


And also the type 1 carbine and Chetnik carbines which I cannot afford - if I saw one for sale - then you'll have the m1924 set. (You could also add some with evidence of Nazi use-like this Nazi renumbered bolt)


Good luck - you have a great start!

beautiful rifle. The M1924's are rare as hen's teeth in my parts.
