Yugo m24 bayo help!

**surpman1911** · 03-12-2013 11:23 PM

I just bought a Czeck vz24 bayonet a few days ago and it wouldn't fit on my k98 mauser because it is a yugo rework and I think that they replaced the cleaning rods with ones of larger diameter. Am I correct on that... I need to know if I will run into the same problem if I were to get an m24 Yugo icon

bayonet. my m48 bayonet fits fine but I am looking for a bayonet made pre-war that fits my rifle.

thanks,
surpman

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

First you should figure out exactly what it is you have. Is it a K98 icon

, an M48, an M24 or an M24/47. If it has the Yugo icon

crest, it is no longer a K98 even if some of its parts originally were.

In any case, if it is an M48, any bayonet for the M48 or German K98 should fit the rifle. I have one, I've checked with several types of German bayonets.

If this is the bayonet you asked about earlier, it is most likely an VZ23 which I have no confirmation of them fitting the K98 style bayonet attachment. They look similar to the VZ24 bayonet but looks and actual measurements are two different things.

It is possible there is a build up of dirt inside the bayonet, it is possible there is some damage to the inside of the bayonet. A good cleaning may solve the problem. If it is not fitting over the cleaning rod, does it go on if the cleaning rod is removed?

It is a k98 model that was captured and reworked in Yugoslavia icon

. The bayonet does fit on the rifle without the cleaning rod in however it is very hard to get off which could be a cleaning issue because it went on very smoothly. I decided not to get the bayonet that I asked about earlier and instead found one that I knew for sure was a vz24. I will try cleaning it some more and see if it fits this time.

So I tried cleaning it again and it still didn't work but then I took a flashlight and saw that a massive mess of cosmoline icon

had built up in there so I took my .22 cleaning brush and some hoppies solvent and went to work on it. it fits like a glove now.
thanks for the help
