A fellow member was able to swing a multi-rifle deal, and part of it was this M24 rifle. Going off of a verbal description from the seller only, we both thought that for the price it was worth a shot in the dark. And I bought it sight unseen to help complete the deal. I think it was a good deal for sure.
A well used war-baby stepped barrel m24 that still has lots of life left in her. The bore looks pretty darn good, everything functions great. A few interesting features are the mousetrap trigger spring, the cross bolt to retain the front band (I've seen identical bolts on a few other Finn rifles), an 1896 receiver and just the overall character of the rifle. I love it. Enjoy the photos. More to come later.

Damn that thing looks Excellent. What a super nice m24. I could not believe the condition of the bore on it.

The bore is going to clean up great I think. It should shoot pretty darn well. Thanks again Des.

Nice. I was reluctant after I cleaned it a little and saw how nice a bore it was. When I first looked at it I thought it was a bad bore. Just goes to show you I really am blind. I even had a bore light too.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Wait a minute Brad, you had this in your hands and didn't even offer your buddy Drew a shot. Tsk tsk

Welcome to the exclusive M24 club, Now you need a SIG and a straight barrel!
I was wondering about the bolt serial number. I noticed it right away.
