Which intermediate Yugo 98 action is preferred for nice custom rifles? I am sure some of you might want to say none of them, but I'm curious. Matt FISH!!

Yugo M24 or 24/47  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

That would be my choice too. The 48's, while darn near new, are rough and less precise.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

The early FN/Yugo M24's, are excellent. I have handled a number and built a few and they have excellent fit and finish. The one with the early crest.... I can take a picture if need be.

That is a very neat action. Looks like its going for real money. Can't afford it now, but thanks for the heads up. Based on advice gleaned here, I think I'll try for an FN M24 Yugo when the time comes. I like the striper clip slot and thumb hole knotch found on pre-war sporting rifles, and I'll likely do an open sights only rifle. I'll either do a Mauser type "M" copy in a medium bore, or an early Rigby style 275 HV (but with Oberndorf commercial style guard bow) with diopter peep. I've been driving Z1R nuts discussing the possibilities. Matt FISH!!

Yes, that action did not go cheap. You might use a Mexican Mauser and replicate something like this, a very rare Rigby variation: SmallRingRigby NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

That gun looks wrong. I think it might have been pieced together. Matt FISH!!

Mauser did make a special action for Rigby for the 303 British with a special magazine to handle the rimmed cartridges. It is pictured in: http://www.amazon.com/Mauser-J...-Speed/dp/0889352305 Now out of print, expect to pay $300 for a mint copy. Ouside of nostalgia, is there any reason to spend a ton of money on sporterizing a military action as long as Cooper, CZ and Kimber are in business. I'd say hard to make a nicer 505 Gibbs than this for the same $ CZ will sell you one !  | |||

I used a Yugo M24/47 for a custom a few years back. I thought it was interesting that it was through hardened rather than cased. This was just based on the way it drilled, but it was defititly not a hard surface and soft core. I have had no setback after several hundred .243 Win rounds. Also, it feeds perfectly with no rail modification. YMMV | |||
