This vz. 24 is a Romanian-contract example identified by its YR serial prefix. The crest has been scrubbed/left blank, a common characteristic on contract-returned rifles. The left receiver rail is marked "ZBROJOVKA BRNO, A.S. Vz.
24." and an import mark from Century International Arms (C.A.I. Georgia, VT) is present. A circular inspection stamp appears above the serial area.
Built on the Mauser 98-pattern platform, it uses a controlled-round-feed, cock-on-opening action with a straight bolt handle. Feeding is via a fixed internal 5-round box magazine loaded by charger. This configuration reflects standard military production for the vz. 24.
