My New M24/47 Yugoslavian Mauser

feeds@yuku.com (Yugo Murdoch) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:59:35 GMT

First off, this is my first ever bolt action rifle , And I can already tell you that I've had nothing but flawless perfection through it, It seems to shoot a little high at 100 yards. but maybe it's the Romanian Ammo I'm using. I've put about 100 Rounds through it and has performed great. Here's some pics the last two pictures are of German Rifle Ammo , Which may look like 8mm but does not fit into my barrel , The 5 rounds are on a metal stripper clip with an Eagle w/...

Safety Bolt,

I was going to disassemble the bolt when I had the bolt cocked back all the way I hit the safety selector to the safe position when the bolt was cocked back , Now I cannot get the bolt into the chamber/slide, because It does not line up correctly , does anyone know how to turn the safety to the upright position so i can get it back into the gun . thanks and this is my first post.

my first Mauser- A yugoslavian M24/47

Folks,

I finished cleaning up my first Muaser, so I took some pictures I posted them to my Photobucket account for your pleasure! I personally think its sweet, I didnt even do anything to the stock!!! I was curious if anyone knew the meaning of any of the markings?

What ammo should I use???

feeds@yuku.com (JohnElmer) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:32:52 GMT

I just got an Yugo M-48. I am unclear on what ammo is safe to shoot from this gun. It came with 7.9 fmj. I would like to use it for deer season. Everyone I have asked about this says they think 8x56 or 8x57. I would like to be sure before I buy them. Can anyone help me?

new 98

feeds@yuku.com (smokoloky) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:44:36 GMT

I guess I should have started a new thread for this. In a reply to my first thread I stated that I picked up a secong yugo 98. It has matching ser. #'s on the bolt and floorplate, and a different set of matxhing #'s on the receiver and stock. Is this common on reworks? It is in good condition, and has 5 visible stick figure looking nazi eagles on the exterior. Do these markings increase the value? I picked it up for $90 OTD. What is the approx. value for such a gun? Any input...

OT - Teak wood used on Yugo rifles in general?

feeds@yuku.com (nfafan) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:30:55 GMT

Hello all,

I read the thread on the stock woods used on my Yugo M48, etc, and I am now wondering why so many folks are convinced that the wood stocks and grips of Yugo rifles - like their M70 "AKMs" - were made of Teak? Anyone know of some reason why there is such widespread belief?

Thanks

Newbie 24 47 Question

feeds@yuku.com (dean1818) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:16:30 GMT

Hello!

After reading this board, I was able to clean off the cosmoline and get the weapon in tip top shape..... first off...... THANKS!

But, after reviewing the list of posts, I do have 2 questions that don't seem to be answered exactly on the board.

Question 1

I purchased 2 Yugos (One for me, one for my son)

On one of the Yugos the safety is very difficult to engage.

Will this action smooth ou over time with use? Or shoud I...

good deal?

feeds@yuku.com (smokoloky) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:54:00 GMT

Hey all, I'm new here and haven't messed with Mausers since I was a kid. I just found a Yugo 98 at a local pawn shop for $125. It is in fair to good shape with matching #'s on the bolt, receiver, and floorplate, but not the stock. The metal is worn but not pitted or rusted at all. The bore has excellent rifling and is nice and bright. Is this a good deal or no?

M48B??

feeds@yuku.com (nfafan) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:42:43 GMT

Hello all,

Thought I had an all-matching M48A - based on the recvr marking and stamped mag floor plate. After tearing it down I discovered more stamped parts besides the floorplate.

Is it safe to assume that M48Bs were not marked as "M48B", but just are what they are?

Thanks!

Tips on removing the bayo lug on an M48?

feeds@yuku.com (nfafan) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:53:45 GMT

I can't get the "spring" out of the stock so as to remove the rear barrel-band/sling point as the "spring" seems to be embedded in the wood at the bayo lug. So..

To remove the bayo-lug; use a pin-punch and drive the pin out from the flat side of the pin?

Thanks!

Just got my accs. kit from samco

feeds@yuku.com (Slipped) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:41:36 GMT

What a deal! I oredered the 24/47 accesory(sp) kit from samco arms. For fourty bucks I got a bayo, frog, sling, muzzle protector, cleaning rope, and a oil can! hella good deal!
I have a m48, but I think all this stuff fits except the sling right?
Anyway the bayo(the whole reason I got this kit) is COVERED in cosmo insise and out, is this normal? My rifle(m48) was never cosmoed I dont think.
I know the topic of cosmo removing has been covered, would there be any exceptions for...

safety problems grrr

feeds@yuku.com (nothernug) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:12:12 GMT

Okay, I've sat in on enough safety problem discussions to think I'd know all the answers. Well, I don't.

I usually buy off the rack and haven't had to pick up one with a really boogered safety. Well, I have one now!

The edge of the safety lever has been boogered up, likely by somebody trying to solve the same problem. Still, I think the problem is more with the cocking piece than the safety lever. It looks like the cocking piece edge is too deep. I tried...

Got my newest M24/47 cleaned up today. Its a little more interesting than any other I've personally seen, although that's not saying much. It has beautiful wood, and that's probably an understatement. Its almost a shame, but not quiet, that this wood is on this milsurp and not on a custom deer rifle. Its in superb condition and it has a few inspection stamps on it too, which my others don't have.

The only cons are...

M 24/47 Bolt Disassembly

feeds@yuku.com (Zangskamander) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:58:56 GMT

Howdy All, My relatively "new" 24/47 proved rather inept at striking the primers of the military surplus ammunition I purchased recently. Subsequently, I have boiled the bolt thoroughly and now cycling the bolt feels far smoother and sharper. I also purchased a new 22 lb. spring from Wolff but therein lies the problem: I can't find any decent illustrated instructions on bolt disassembly and I am utterly unable to install this new spring without said instructions. Can anyone...
