Foto galery of a Nm 116, In 1972, the Norwegian Army decided to retain 54 of their 123 M24 light tanks as reconnaissance vehicles after they were substantially rebuilt under the designation NM-116. It was calculated that the NM-116 rebuilding program cost only about a third as much as contemporary light tanks. This program was managed by the firm Thune-Eureka. The American firm NAPCO developed an improved power-pack based around the 6V53T diesel engine used in the M113 armored personnel carrier mated to an Allison MT-653 transmission. The original 75 mm Gun M6 L/39 was replaced with a French D-925 90 mm low pressure gun, with a co-axial 0.50-inch (12.7 mm) M2 heavy machine gun. The bow gunner position was eliminated in favor of ammunition stowage. A new fire-control system was installed, complete with a Simrad LV3 laser rangefinder. Norwegian firms also converted eight M24 light tanks into light armored recovery vehicles to support the NM-116. The NM-116 were retired from service in 1993.

Norra NM 116 oli Norra poolt 1970. aastatel välja töötatud kerge paak. See põhines Ameerika M24 Chaffee'l, mida Norra armee oli kasutanud alates 1950. aastatest. NM 116 uuendati uue diiselmootori, uue käigukasti, uue tuletõrjesüsteemi ja uue 90 mm relvaga. NM 116 eesmärk oli pakkuda Norra mehhaniseeritud jalaväeüksustele liikuvust ja tulejõudu Norra mägisel maastikul. NM 116 oli kasutusel aastatel 1975–1993, kui see asendati Leopard 1A5NO-ga.
