mainly, between the m48 and the yugo m24\47 im jumping in to mausers head first. however i dont know a damn thing about them. any help would be appreciated. thanks |

The are very similiar for length and weight. The 48 has a partial turned bolt, German 98k type cupped but plate and side sling set up. The 24/47 Straight bolt, flat buttplate and regular mauser sling setup. I prefer the 24/47's personally as a shooter. . . . . . . . . Because someone will come along and point out this irrelevant fact...   The 48 and FN 24 24/47 use a shorter intermediate 98 action while the VZ-24 & 24/52c uses a normal length 98 action.. |
The difference between a standard mauser action and intermediate action is about 1/4 inch, if I recall correctly. Doesn't make any real difference in function, but bolt interchangeability is an issue. I'm seriously considering an unissued M48 myself. My only real beef is the fact that I don't particularly like the rear sight. I've read that Mojo sights, however, seem to have a solution to the lousy rear sight on the M48. Someone here may have experience in that area. |
