Another thing to note is that the Germans removed the wrist swivels on captured Czech and Yugoslavian rifles. Lots of good information about all the markings on the Yugo Mauser. OP's rifle also still has the original swivel mount at the wrist, although the sling loop looks like it was removed. Serbian and Yugoslav Mauser Rifles Branko Bogdanovic on. Type 2 carbine was similar to the Type 1 with the main difference being the turned down bolt had more of a traditional curve straight bolt compared to the Type 1. The Type 1 carbine is the rifle that OP has, inverted turned down bolt, textured bolt ball bottom, side swivels. The infantry rifle is the standard Yugo M24 we know and love, straight bolt handle, no side swivels. The Zastava M48 (Serbo-Croatian: Puka M.48 7,9 mm / M.48 7,9 mm, 'Rifle M.48 7.9 mm') is a post World War II Yugoslav version of the German Karabiner 98k designed by Mauser and the Belgian designed M24 series.It was the standard service rifle of the Yugoslav Peoples Army from the early 1950s until its replacement by the Zastava M59/66, a licensed copy of the Soviet SKS. There was no difference in barrel length between the infantry rifle and cavalry carbines. With the increase in the prominence of the Czech arms industry the VZ23 bayonet was made for export with it's Mauser rifle. These blades can be found with both Austrian and Czech markings. These are well built guns for the money, some of the finish can be a little rough, but the actions are generally very smooth and easy to manipulate. The M24-47 also usually features a straight bolt. I believe for the standard M24, there are 3 variants, the infantry rifle, Type 1 cavalry carbine, and Type 2 cavalry carbines. Czechoslovak manufactured version of the Austrian 1895, for use on the 1895 Mannlicher originally used by the Czech military. M48s are also often confused for the Yugoslavian M24-47 design, but the markings on the crests can be used to easily tell them apart.
