tinkerfive, thanks for the response. I actually just got my C&R and have been looking at the inventory of most of the surplus importers, aim, sarco etc. but wanted to get some opinions before I made a purchase. Is there much of a difference between the various pattern manufactures, ie. K98 vs. M47 vs. VZ24? I know that the Yugo actions are a little shorter and the bolts won't swap with a k98 pattern. Not many of the importers carry actions or barreled receivers so I looked on gunbroker and found what I think looks to be a decent k98 action with everything except the safety for about $175 with a some work already done. Is this a fair price or are there more reasonable parts out there?
