vz24 Guatemalan
I picked this one up a few months ago. It was the only all matching vz24 Guatemalan I've seen until a member here posted his on another board. Hoping he and anyone else who may have one posts theirs as well.
There were only 4,000 made and a lot less survived. Even less survived matching and in good condition. The correct matching parts are the receiver, barrel, bolt, and stock. Also many parts have the circle Z marking being it was Czech Made. |

Great score. A rare rifle in really rare good condition for being in a tropical country, and matching too. I'd be really excited if I got that rifle. Where did you get it?

I have traveled to Guatemala three times so I'm especially attracted to that rifle beyond its rarity and remarkable condition. The Guatemala national crest
features the Quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala. It is also on the flag of Guatemala and the currency of Guatemala is the quetzal. When I visited Guatemala back in the 1990s the government was fighting a leftist guerilla movement. There were armed soldiers everywhere, usually carrying a version of the Galil AR rifle designated the KEL https://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/galil-ar/

That's the one. Is your barrel and butt stock also numbered to match? Is your Handguard and Fore stock numbered on the inside with matching to each other but different production numbers?
Beautiful Rifle. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

The stock is matching. I've never taken the rifle apart to look at the inner assembly numbers or any hidden barrel number.

If stock and bolt are matching I'm sure the barrel is matching as well. If you do ever take it apart the upper handguard has that damn spring. I found its best to take the action out of the stock and turn it upside. Then using two paint sticks alternate tapping on them with a trim hammer near the spring. Pulling the hand guard off is almost a guaranteed way to crack it. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |
