Additional Information

The Venezuelan 24/30 Mauser is an FN Herstal export variant adapted from the Model 24 and Model 1930 Mauser designs. Venezuela contracted FN to produce about 16,500 rifles chambered in 7×57mm Mauser, known for effective ballistics and manageable recoil.

The short rifle design improved maneuverability in South America’s diverse terrain, from jungles to mountains. FN crafted these rifles with high-grade steel, precise machining, and deep bluing for durability and a refined finish.

The proudly stamped Venezuelan crest marks national identity, making these rifles stand out among FN’s exports.
