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, and features a similar bolt design. The rifle was designed in Czechoslovakia shortly after World War I, to replace the Vz. 98/22, also a Czech derivative of the Gewehr 98. The vz. 24 featured a 590 mm (23.2 in) barrel which was shorter and considered more manageable than the 740 mm (29.1 in) Gewehr 98 barrel. The vz. 24 was chambered in 7.92×57mm Mauser like its predecessors.

The previous owner was a machinist. The flash hider has been modified and added to the end of the barrel as well as the front sight. The rear sight has also been modified in coordination with the front sight. The bolt handle and bolt area on the stock have been altered to allow an easier bolt accessibility.

This one is chambered in 8x57mm Mauser.
