Used copies are advertised in the $100 - $600 range. New copy from used book dealer, $2600... plus $3.99 shipping. :eek:

I believe you're exactly right. I saw one of those refurbed K98s posted just recently by a reputable dealer. The ring had been scrubbed and the torches/wheat Yugo crest applied, similarly to the...

Hey, that's good to know.

If you have links to pics showing the "crude rework" and rebuild markings I would surely like to see them. I'm here to learn, also.

It appears to follow the convention of other converts - the ".30" stamped on the receiver bridge, and the relief in the ring right behind the Columbian crest to facilitate the longer 30-06...

I've recently seen several 1891 carbines with crest intact.

Haven't seen any long rifles, but some guys claim to have one. ;)

Attention C&R shoppers,

Be advised that Century Arms puts a rifle in a box and tapes it shut. Having received a few long guns, you have probably seen both good and bad packaging. See the worst....

I would vote for the Yugo M24 as its origin, or perhaps from the FN factory. If I've ever seen an FN I didn't recognize it as being marked differently.

I believe the Czech VZ-24 shares the...

Good for you. If you're also new to cosmoline, there are good and better and bad and worse ways to deal with it.

The last couple of times I used low heat to remove the "heavy" stuff. Using...

You could have paid $50-$100 more than he was asking had you purchased it earlier this year from some of the bigger dealers, so I think you did well. Liberty Tree Collectors is one option for the...

I've not heard anyone suggest the Yugo M24/M48's are in the same league as Swedish or Czech-made Persian Mausers. Perhaps with a careful handload it could be?? I just use mine to ring steel...

Both M48 and M48A have been plentiful this year from several dealers. AIM Surplus had them available in three grades for awhile.

Most recently, Allan's Armory has posted a few of each, and it...

This may be of little help, but...

Comparing the Persian 98-29 and Turk 98-22 side-by-side, the handguards appear to be identical in overall dimension. However, the lower band on the Persian is...

An "extremely rare and valuable example" you have there. We've all probably spent a bit much for certain items in our collection. I have.

So were the band screws missing when you acquired the rifle?

I recall reading that on some Kriegsmodell those screws were not hardened, and without care and technique they would likely be...

Hi Y'all, Yep, Georgia guy here - Mike.

Retired now and picking up an old hobby with a couple of Mosins, 1903A3, and a "new" Yugo M48. Looking forward to learning from the masters and helping...
