Are these essentially the same action with differnet refurb dates?

Never mind, found what I needed at hoosier gun works

No, The 24/52 is a vz24 action while the 24/47 is based off of an intermediate FN derived action.

Thank you.
Hoosiers didn't cover it now that I've read the descriptions thoughly.

I've tried to point out to them that have some wrong info on their site. Even spelled it out once on another site for them.

some of the 24/52's are FN actions I believe, but most are VZ 24's They are rearsenaled and tend to be in great shape, The 24/47's are yugo made usually in great shape, and are the smaller mauser action. The 24/52 is the better gun, usually the price also shows this too

The 24/52's are vz24's, period. The 24/47's are refurbs of either FN made or Yugo made intermediate length actions.

The only reason price of the 24/52 is higher is that there were fewer vz24's in use to begin with somewhere on the order of 10,000. The FN24 or Yugo M24 were nicely made actions unlike there M48 cousins.

I have heard of a couple of 24/52's that were in actuallity refurbed K98k receivers built up in the 24/52 spec. makes sense since this platform was based on the standard 98 action. The importers are notorious for stamping the rifles with whatever designation they want. I once got a Czech 98/22 that was import marked as a Turk M38. Luckily for me it also carried the Turk price tag. A real bargain that one was.

The yugo refurbs seem to have been rebarreled with decent barrels. All mine have proven to shoot very well indeed.
