The M24/52-C is a Yugoslavian military bolt action in 8mm with a 24-inch round barrel, dating from the late 1920s and carrying serial P12900. This one keeps 95 percent of its original blue and all of its serial numbers match. The bore is bright with minor frosting in the grooves, the stock is very good with light handling wear, and the action is smooth and functions correctly.

The 8mm cartridge is a legitimate deer and bear round, and Pennsylvania permits manually operated centerfire rifles for both across the whole state, which puts this rifle in play for the regular firearms deer season from November 28 through December 13, 2026 and the November 21 to 24 bear season. The 24-inch barrel keeps it handy in close cover. The remaining finish and matching numbers also make it a sound collector's piece, so many owners will shoot it sparingly. Check the digest before hunting the Special Regulations Area counties around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where the rules are tighter.
