Yesterday's Weapons Forums

I long avoided the Mauser platform rifle until I bought a M48 from a friend. I couldn't be satisfied with just one, but for now I well stay in the Yugo line.

M48 that started this madness.





Then a M48B came along followed closely by a M24/56C.


The 56C cleaned up very nice, I'm very happy to have this one.

Nice looking group.

I need to get some pics of my few Yugos.

I have,
M1924b
YC M98k
M24/47
M24/52c

I looked at a very nice M1924 but was way more money than I had.

Have you been watching Yugo prices? I've only been looking at these for under a year but it sure seems to me they are going up faster than even the K-31's. I know the asking prices at the auction sites don't mean much but they are starting to ask $499 for pristine condition rifles, seems like they were under $250 a year ago.

Lookin' good!

I have only 1 M48. Got it many moons before all of the import waves came here. Pulled it off of the rack @ SARCO. Mint. No crest only a stylized "27"
on the receiver.

yes indeed , very nice ,

Good weekend on Gunbroker, apparently everyone is off camping for the weekend because no one is bidding. Both these went super cheap. The Mod 98 and M24/47 pretty much completes the Yugo collection. Still keeping an eye out for the rare markings and well upgrade if possible.

Mod 98


M24/47

in the pic you can see my yugo K98K.I gave this to a bud when he came back from Iraq.it was my last mauser.

I smell backstrap cooking!

....I've had both the M-48's and the 24/47's.....but I've always prefered the 24/47....

Last week produced a M24/47.



First factory code 145 I have seen. I also found a sling for my M24/52C that was affordable. I've seen these with a $100+ price tag!

nice !!!!

Nice. Is that a crack or just the grain of the wood?

There are a number of different workshops that rebuilt these rifles.

Yugo Mod 98 marking.


Found a Yugo M1924

Are you just going to tease us with a couple pics of the M1924 or can we see more?
That is one I have been looking for but haven't found one I could afford.

Ha ha, I'll post pic's when it gets here. Found that on Gunbroker. Yesterday at a local shop I found one of the W prefix Yugo Mod 98's. No crest or plant stamp, only indication that's it's Yugo is the import mark. Excellent stock, reblued receiver/barrel, bands show wear, odd wear mark on barrel. I want it but not at current asking price, $350 on consignment, offered $250. Maybe I'll get lucky, problem is I have been lucky this month and running out of money!!!

On the M1924, is there a easy way to tell if it's a early FN made rifle?

The FN M1924s were the first 100,000 made for the SHS and will be marked with the FN mark on side rail.
You need to get a copy of "Serbian and Yugoslav Mauser Rifles" by Branko Bogdanovic if you don't have one. A lot of info on the Yugo rifles.
