24/47 made by unusual factory
m48
M48BO sold to Iraq
Very Nice, and i havent ever seen that Iraq marking before, now i have something to look for when i see Yugos. Is it only the 48's? or 24/47 also??
Only the M48BO. A real find is one with an Iraqi crest. That "thing" on the receiver is called a jeem. All are very uncommon. This one was labeled as a "Yugoslavian M24 bolt action short rifle". I got it for $326 OTD. Had it been labeled properly, maybe $600.
I had a Colombian mauser but sold that also.
Converted by Columbian military to 7.62 or was this a late model?
Man I love the look of those 1888s
Can't forget the Yugo's.
Yugo M.98 Long Rifle. These just came in recently. Relatively unknown model, but they appear to be put together using a mix of Gewehr 98 long rifle and K98k parts.
Yugo M24/52c. Former Czech made vz.24 refurbed by the Yugo's. This one is interesting as it has a German modified vz.24 stock.
There's no deal. I don't know the exact timeline or thinking, but until, I don't know, a few years before WW2, Mauser infantry rifles were typically made with straight bolts and carbines were typically made with bent bolts. A few years before WW2, I guess that most main battle rifles turned into carbines and short rifles, but I note that my Spanish Model 1943 has a straight bolt.
