I´m supervising for a friend who is having to shoot for twelve months before being able to purchase his own rifle. He asked me to purchase a Mauser that he´d then own himself. We took a look at several K89ks and he eventually chose an otiose looking Yugo with wood that practically shed splinters but that shot like a dream. I offered to change the wood for him but he quite rightly refused, as re-bedding might well impair accuracy. Apart from rectifying feeding problems it´s been a great success. He doesn´t mind how the rifle looks and I´m certain that he´ll be a good competition marksman with his Yugo K89. For some reason, the Yugo Mausers seem to be well respected my shooters over here but sniffed at by collectors.

Yes the Yugoslavs made a nice job of the refurb, although it's lost it's originality, it's still an interesting collectors item. I rather think that my K98 has had a new barrel fitted by the Yugoslavs as part of the refurb and , perhaps, this was a common practice by them in their refurb programme of the K98. The post war history and use of the K98 rifle is a most interesting subject in it's own right.
