Hi,two nice rifles,the serial no. on your VZ 24 shows it to be made in 1928......Pete.

Thanks Zwerge! Bought the VZ24 at a Local antiques auction. Was going to buy a Mosin Nagent but it was way overpriced. This rifle was going cheap so bought it instead. Will do until I can get hold of a K98 for my collection!

The vz 24 is about as close to the K98k as you can get, nice rifle!....

The original bolt for a VZ 24 rifle would have a straight bolt handle,your bolt could be from a K98,have a close look at all the markings on the bolt and especially on the bolt handle.....Pete.
