Yugo Mauser 24/52

kidao35 · December 04, 2002, 08:05

I'm hoping to get some opinions on these, as a local surplus dealer has a bunch of these going for $129. These are supposed to be more rare than the M-48, and the machining on the metal looks better. All have heavy cosmo. The bluing is between 80 to 90%, and some or the bores looks very good to excellent, while others look very dark. The stocks look pretty beat up, with arsenal patches and plugs, and very rough sanding and shaping in some spots.

Alongside the M-48's they look pretty sick. Are they still worth it, or is it better to plunk money down on an original Czech? BTW, I already have a M-48, which has to be the cheapest, new rifle I ever bought.

Thanks.

Czech VZ 24 Mausers rebuilt post-war II. If it has a bright bore will be a great rifle.
