the yugo mauser question

[Frank46]

I bought my Yugo M48Bo some years back and the stock wasn't finish sanded like many military Mausers. All milled parts and mint condition barrel. Tried some Sellier & Bellot Czech 8mm mauser with the 196 grain bullet. Shot way high at 100 yds. Evidently the sights were configured for a 150 or so grain bullet. Mauser stocks as used by the Swedish could vary with different types of wood. Two I have are walnut. One is a blonde wood maybe beech or birch. The remaining two are maybe elm and my M38 is also possibly elm. My Persian 98/29 long rifle is a beautiful piece of what looks like european walnut, they really did themselves proud on that stock.
