The FN Model 24 and Model 30 are Belgian bolt action rifles built by Fabrique Nationale, and later under license at the Kragujevac Arsenal, as a Mauser Gewehr 98 pattern export line produced from 1924 to 1986. The Model 24 used an intermediate length 215mm action while the later Model 1930 used a standard length 223mm action, and both were offered in long rifle, short rifle and carbine forms chambered in calibers including 7.65x53mm, 7x57mm, 8x57mm, .30-06 Springfield and 7.62x51mm NATO. The Model 24 was discontinued after 1932 in favor of the Model 1930, which became Fabrique Nationale's principal rifle export to numerous armies through the twentieth century.
