Help With M24 Yugo

[sticktoyourguns]

I picked up this rifle from a recent gun show near me and have had no luck figuring out what any of the markings on it meant scouring the internet. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated and sate my curiosity.

There appear to be two very faint import marks on the rifle; one only saying "Ridgefield" and the other "URKEY" (which could have been Turkey at one time?)
The serial number is: 255556
The number "3" is stamped on nearly every metal piece on the gun.
The bolt-body is mismatched from the rifle, with a "95" stamped on the extractor near the claw of the extractor and a "1" near the base. With the number "0100" stamped on the bolt handle as well.
I believe all of the writing on it is Serbian, with that on top of the action translating to Model 1924.
The writing along the side of the action roughly appears as follows: "KPAbEBNHA JyrOCnABNJA BOJHOTEX.3ABOD-KPAryJEBAQ"
That is every piece of writing on the gun itself. It is also worth noting that there is a patch in the stock right where your thumb would rest while gripping the rifle with your trigger hand.

*I have pictures of the crest on top of the action and a few other symbols as well but they don't seem to want to upload.

Can you post a photo of the writing? If the writing is in Cyrillic script(АБГ etc.) (most likely is) It's not legible with Latin characters (ABC etc.)

I was able to get this out of it, hope this helps.

КРАВЕВИНА ЈУГОСИАВИЈА ВОЈНОТЕХ ЗАВОП-КРАГУЈЕВАФ

KRAVEVINA JUGOSLAVIJA Military Technical AVOP - KRAGUJEVAC

Which basically means it was manufactured in Kragujevac, Serbia, under the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and is owned by the Military. Kragujevac is where all the arms, ammunition, and explosives are manufactured for the Former Yugoslavian and now Serbian military (Zastava and Prvi Partizan).

Oh, and it most likely wasn't Turkey, as Serbian and Turkish relations weren't (and still aren't) the best, lets just say. Unless they somehow captured a Serbian rifle, which is unlikely as there were no Serbian-Turkish conflicts after the war, if I remember correctly.

Hope this helps.

Okay, I was able to get these photos of the writing and of the symbol on the extractor.

More photos including the symbol on the safety, the symbol on the head of the bolt, and the serial number with the "URKEY".
