765 mauser barrel fit on M-48 action?
Would it be an easy fit to fit an 09 argentine mauser barrel on an M-48 Yugo action? I got a action and some brass for 765 and dies. I was just thinking of something to shoot around with. I just don't got the barrel yet.

A Yugo is a large ring action and should be the same thread pattern as an Argentine 1909. May not be a precise fit but it should work.

Just make sure the barrel isn't a sewer pipe so you aren't wasting your time with a worn out barrel.

Whoa!. the Yugos are intermediate actions and use a different amount of case head protrusion; the intermediates having the "safety breech".
So, whilst the threads might be the same, the barrels are not a drop in interchange.
Bottom line; it won't work unless you have a 7.65 reamer.

Pull the barrel from your M-48 and see if has an extractor cut. I believe that feature was discontinued after its predecessor the m-24/47.

No it wasn't.

DPCD is correct, unless you have a reamer, your chances of fitting the 7.65 barrel to the M48 are nil!
