I REALLY like this forum.

I appreciate the civility of our members.

That said, my brother-in-law just gave me a Yugo M24/47 and some old surplus ammo. [I gave his son a great deal on a used car.] I thought I had more than enough history in my gun room [No.4 Enfirld, 2 Mosins, Psl, K31,SKS,M96,etc], but I wasn't gonna say "No" to this new [free!] rifle.

I love to learn all about the history of these guns and their cartridges.

Of course there is a ton of info on the internet, but before I shoot this rifle, what do you think I should know about this rifle? And can I shoot "I" or "JS" ammo from it? And there is some [apparently] Ecudorion ammo on stripper clips too... .318 0r .323...does that make a significance difference? Any info/websites on head stamps ?

I wasn't gonnna buy anymore stuff,but MAN this is fun!!

Thank you for your time!

For the M24/27 you want to use the .323 8mm ammo. You could use either but the .323 will be more accurate in the M24/47

they are DANGEROUS!!! better send it to me so you won't be tempted to shoot it!

is it pre or post Bubba, what is its condition etc.

Dont shoot the old surplus ammo out of it. You may just have to get a bullet out of the barrel.

The stock is in excellent conditon. The bore...not so much. [But I haven't had the chance to give it a good cleaning yet.] Kinda like the opposite of my K31! ;0)
