Yugo M24/47 Mauser...tell me things and stuff.

[reverendbeer]

Ok, so Samco has these and I am intrigued...

Oh, Wizened C&R Immortals...This humble supplicant prostrates himself before you and requests knowledge of things that will make me want it enough to actually buy one or knowledge of things that will make me not buy one.

If you are looking to get a Mauser, they are probably a good way to get started. Most all of the Yugo 24/47s I have seen at shows lately have been Samco imported so if you want one why not get it from the source? They take longer than some to process your order but you will get it. If you buy one it will be soaked in cosmoline from long term storage.

I have two 24/47's. They're a good entry into mausers. Fun shooters but not near as cheap as they once were (duh). Just be forewarned, one mauser leads to many mausers.

 

[smoothebore]

The bent bolt looks cool.

 

[CasualObserver]

I got one from them a few months ago... its nice... wasn't disappointed.

 

[Threeband]

It's a good start.

Then I think you should keep going, and collect one of every Mauser variation ever made.

If you look hard enough you can find a deal on K98's on gunbroker. Start there, they are much nicer quality.

wrong Yugo. The bent bolt version is the M-48. It is a good rifle (M-48) although like a lot of Yugo weapons, is not interchangeable with other 98 Mausers. I believe the 24/47 however, is interchangeable with other 8mm Mausers.

Great rifle! It was my first Mauser. Still have it.

no the m48 series and 24/47's have a different action length. You might be thinking of the Czech vz 24

Wideners has both 24's and 48's in stock...

Those look pretty good, I know if I sold my 24/47, it would be about 225-250 and it's not as nice as they look on the site.

SAMCO M24/47

I got one from SAMCO a couple months ago, 'Special Select'. I was not impressed, rust & pitting and a stock that was pretty beat to Hell. For $229, I thought I was getting a deal. I think I got what I paid for...

 

[waterdog]

I got one from Samco as well and it looked pretty good to me.
Th numbers didnt match but is a great shooter.
In fact, I dont think the the fifle was ever shot before.
Great shiny bore almost looks chromed it so shiny.
The only bitch is the handguard doesnt match the stock but hey, its milsurp after all.
Now i just have to find some ammo for it......

 

[fishcheeks]

ThAnks again DANCNR and yELLOWSLED. Never solved 2 problems on the same road trip

 

[houserocker]

Mausers are one of the alltime great shooters-hope you have some some 8mm!

 

[waterdog]

that ammo is as scarce as hens teeth today.
good luck with the ammo

 

[Oldcarjunkie]

Not that bad but your gonna pay for it. I'm keeping hopes tht someone trips over a stock pile in some third world shit hole.

You really think Detroit has 8mm ammo stockpiled somewhere?

 

[Oldcarjunkie]

I got a little to hold me over till they do
