The vz. 24 rifle is a bolt-action carbine designed and produced in Czechoslovakia from 1924 to 1942. It was developed from the German Mauser Gewehr 98 line. This is a modified rifle the stock has been cut down to make it a hunting rifle. The barrel is 23 inches long and has good rifling and looks to be very bright hardly any pitting just looks a bit dusty. This was made from what I can tell in 1937.
