  1. Hey Clemson, That was intresting to find out that the '06 wont work in it. I will have to tell my stepdad. I know he necks down the 30-06 instead of buying 8 mm brass, he hasnt found any 8mm brass that was as cheap as 30-06 and says its easier for him to just neck 'em down. What do you think about a 308? Well better yet what are the suitable cartridges for it. Thanks again, Robert
  2. I have a Yugo 48 and it is all matching. To my knowledge it was stored after WWII in packing grease. I know my stepdad had to do a lot of cleaning on it when we got it since every crevise was filled with grease. Very good shape except for when I was 15 I marred up the front of the hand guard tryin to take it apart. I shot the gun a good bit when I got it 10 years ago. I joined the army and it sat for about 8 years. No rust or anything so I soaked the stock in easyoff and put it in the oven on low to heat up the stock and release the oils, sanded it after that and finished it with a light coat of natural stain and a mat polyeuthrane. LOOKS GREAT. Now for what I really want to do to a beat up Yugo 48. I would like to purchase another 48 and throw the barrel, stock, trigger, and sights and bore the chamber to a 8mm-06. I have the stock covered to Boyd stocks (who I used for my Garand makeover). I am having a little trouble finding a trigger. My stepdad is a gun guru and is going to help a little with the project but wants me to do the grunt work. Neither of us have done a mauser before. He has done countless other rifles. Including many Garands. Hes kind of left this to me and I am kind of lost. Any advice on my new endeavor. Thanks, Robert
