New Yugo 24/47

Pred · 01-15-2007, 10:28 AM

FINALLY, I got this thing cleaned up. I spent, in all, about 6 hours removing all the cosmo from the rifle. Turned the kitchen table into a work bench, to which I heard "What was that? Are you tearing up my table", about 10 times. Anywhere, here she is.

Very nice looking rifle... Good luck with it.

Pred · 01-15-2007, 01:23 PM

The bore looks really good, nice and shiny. I've thought about buying one of the Russian side mounts to put on the rifle so I can stick some of the PO(I think) and POSP scopes on it. Would make for an interesting mix.

Good looking gun, Pred. I just got mine cleaned up as well. Mine had a new handguard on it that hadn't even been fitted to the gun yet. I had to take almost 1\4" of wood off of each side to get it to fit right and am still not through w\it.

Pred · 01-15-2007, 02:49 PM

I cant wait to take it to the range. However one thing does bother me, when you took yours apart was the tip of the firing bent at all? Mine is a bit, but I'm not for sure if it will cause a problem or not. If it doesn't go boom, I guess I'll just order a new one.

toolman · 01-15-2007, 06:50 PM

Nope, mine was fine. If you need another one, ck out Tennessee Gun Parts Springfield Sporters or you can get a new one from Brownells or Midway.

hi pred nice rifle! ive got one too and parts of it seem to be in the white

this is the one that i first tried the electronic bore cleaner with. so much stuff came out that bore it was amazing!

Dookiebutt · 01-28-2007, 08:23 PM

I had two of these. I sold one to my friend. They were great shooters. Just don;t forget to clean well after shooting corrosive 8mm ammo.

billy · 01-28-2007, 08:25 PM

roger that dookie!

I like them Mausers.

Nice looking guns, guys.

I don't have the 24 but I got a Yugo 48 and it's quite a shooter.

With the steel butt plate it kicks like a pizzed off Brahma bull though.

I managed to develop a load recipe for mine that made it even much more accurate.

My only complaint, albeit a minor one, is the front sight post.

I wish you two the best with yours! Pred, if you do the scope thing is that a set up that alters or leaves marks of any kind on the blue or furniture? If you set it up can you give me your opinions on it? Thanks.

Pred · 01-29-2007, 09:28 AM

I'm really thinking about buying one of the mounts that allows you to put the Russian scopes on it. I think this gun would be great with one of those 6x42 POSP scopes on it.

Dale · 01-29-2007, 12:50 PM

I have a hard time coming to grips with wanting to buy any scope that has POS in it's name followed by a P that might mean poop seed. LOL

Pred · 01-29-2007, 01:05 PM

Yeah I know, every time I bring that up to someone, I can barely get the POS out before they get a strange look on their face LOL.
