<p>Thanks again guys, I'm going to go with another cal for this rifle, and maybe do the 6.5-06  on a Rem action, or a try to find a 98 to do it on. Thinking of going to 25-06 or one of the shorter 6.5's.</p>

ken thanks for the link to the other thread.

well if we must start splitting hairs...... re-barrel . Poor choice of words on my part,my apologies

I'm getting ready to start sporterizing my yugo, and I want to rechamber it to 6.5-06. I know that typically the -06 as well as many other -06 rounds are just a bit longer than the 8x57. I've been reading other forums and threads and havent found anything useful. Have any of you successfully rechambered a Yugo to this cartridge? If so, how much modification was needed to pull it off? My desire is to turn it into a long range deer rifle. Thanks for your help.

Good stuff, I appreciate the info. I'll order the parts for the bolt, and when they get in Ill run everything to the gunsmith to have headspace checked and get a professional opinion on barrel condition

The tool to remove them looks like its no more than a pair of snap ring pliers, although I'm quite sure it isnt. I'm picky enough that I was going to buy a new one regardless, thats why I was asking where i can find em. Every place I've looked has been sold out or doesnt carry them for the 24/47.

Thank you for the welcome, I've been reading forums here for some time now, figured it was time to join up.

I appreciate the information as well.

I'm sure this is a topic that's been discussed at length so allow me to apologize ahead of time.

I paid 100 bucks a 24/47 Yugo a few months back, that had a cracked stock and missing extractor. The action, bolt body and related parts are in great shape, as is the barrel.That being said I feel this rifle is begging to be sporterized. Can anyone tell me where I can find an extractor and collar for it, or is there another Mauser type that'll fit it.
