Brenden Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hello Gentlemen. Thought I would post some pics of a build that I am currently working on. It started life as a yugo 24/47 (intact and not too shabby either). So far I have completed the following..all work done by yours truely 1. Welded a new bolt handle on- Its a Callahan- yeah I finally got around to notching the reciever-and finished shaping the bolt.. 2. D&T'ed for Leupold 2 piece mounts- FN reverseable 3. Put a adams and bennet 21" .308 pipe on her- Not yet chambered 4. Added a Dayton Traister trigger and saftey. 5. Re-countoured the trigger guard. 6. Fitted it to a Boyd's Pepper Laminate Stock-got to finish shaping it.. All thats left is set headspace, Dura-coat in stainless steel, and add a button release on the floor plate, and kill a few deer with her. She is a joy to lift, very nice light gun, and good looking if I don't say so myself. Enjoy. Brenden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jverduce Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'll bet that it's gonna be sweet! Nice action for a 308. Maybe you'll have it done and you can bring it when Rod has us all up for pig! By golly, I ain't gonna miss the next one.

Brenden Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Here are some progress pics. Still have to chamber (will happen with in a week or so) Finish Shaping stock/Clean up bolt some more. Dura Coat Some my not like my bolt style, but for me on this gun I didn't want a long sweep away from the gun. I like a bolt to be long and straighter than normal. Makes it easier for when I get excited on these WV eleven pointers and go shooting like crazy Brenden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiris Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 You're coming along, Brenden, it looks like a pretty good fit in the stock. Don't forget the safety breech cut for the extractor and breech ring if it is a yugo bolt and you want to do it right. But that is up to you. Let us know how it shoots.

jeffturk Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Damn dude. that looks AWESOME. like the stock, very nice. where'd ya get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenden Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Thank you Jeff. The stock came from sporterexpress.com , its a Boyds peper laminate. They are on sale right now for $72 (if they have any left in stock). They are a nice stock, but made for a barrel w/more meat towards the end, not a F14 contour A&B barrel (a F34 would have a better wood to barrel metal fit) Metal to wood fit everywhere else is very nice for a mass produced stock, surprised me. There is alot you can do with them to make them look good. I'm getting better at shaping but still have a long ways to go I just got it beded with steel putty about 1 hour ago, turned out very nice. I'm pretty proud of this one, my first complete diy. Brenden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffturk Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 absolutly incredible looking. like it, alot! question....will a k.kale turk fit into a yugo M48 stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 absolutly incredible looking. like it, alot! question....will a k.kale turk fit into a yugo M48 stock? No. A k-kale is a standard length action and has the same exterior dimensions as a gew98, 98k, vz-24 etc. A yugo 48 is an intermediate length action, approximately 1/4" shorted than a standard.

jverduce Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hey Brendan, Looking good . . . . looking real good! Now don't do what I did and get impatient! Your mentor will be real proud! The hourglass trigger guard is a nice touch. Did you thin it out any or leave it the stock thickness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
