AzRednek Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 What is the difference between the Yugo M-48 and the 24/47?? I noticed J&G is now selling M-48's with cracked stocks for the same 129.99 price as they get for their complete and matching 24/47's. I've purchased two 24/47's from J&G and was really impressed with the bright and shiney bores and the over all shape both are in. Is there any advantage in sporting a M-48 over the 24/47??

donmarkey Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 The 24/47's I've seen have a nicer fit and finish than the 48's. The 48A is in between the two. The 48A's have stamped bottom metal though, so you have to figure a replacement into the cost. -Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went up there and checked out the M48s . I would grade them as good at best. The 24/47s were much better IMHO. I looked at 4 (M 48s) trying to find one to keep as military. Pitted bolt faces, receivers, etc... not what I would call a candidate for sporting. M 48 has bent bolt, but still won't clear scope on a sporter. So you will be doing the bolt handle anyway. Buy the 24/47. They are better deal some are FN manufactured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all intents and purposes they are the same the only real difference being the 24/47 has a staright handle and the M48 has a bent bolt. However, the 24/47's are reworks of the earlier M24 which was pre-war production and of much better quality than the 48. As you say, they tend to have very good bores. If I were offered a choice of rifles sight unseen, I'd pick the 24/47 over the 48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
