but I have seen too many to consider it a fluke and in most cases it's pretty sure that the stocks are original to the rifle and not a later replacement. The ringer in all this is that I have seen quite a few, and in fact own, a walnut stocked M48B. But, a look under the butt plate will prove otherwise. Re: Yugo Mauser 24/47 Post by IronCrossWaffenSS, 20:35 And Roger thanks for the site, Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like a G43 in the pictures. Anyway, hes selling them both, and 1350 rounds of ammo, for 700. As for oak, I have seen a number of straight grained elm stocks that I would have SWORN were oak. My LGS has two Yugo rifles, model number is M4 something or other, I wrote it down but can't find it now, anyway, they're chambered in 8mm Mauser and the owner said they're just a yugo version of the German Mauser. These are what is known as 'small ring' Mausers, different than the 'large ring' K98s. Individual choice sale starts 23/1 at 10AM. A M48A is different in that the trigger guard and floor plate are stamped. Later sporting rifles made from parts from the military Mauser programs by Zastava were clearly stocked in Beech but I have never seen (in person or photo) a Yugoslav military long arm so stocked. NON You-Know-Who M48/M48As coming up for sale 359/369. Also beech and oak were said (by Branko Bogdanovic) to have been used but, I have my doubts. about the first 10,000 M48s were said to have been stocked in walnut but then they switched to elm, most commonly recommended was "Carpathian elm" but I don't know enough about woods to say for sure. Yugoslav stock woods used through WWII was walnut. Parallaxs Curio & Relics Firearm Forums are for collectors of military. There was no excess to have been used for anything else. Best quality Mauser MilSurp that there is for your M48 or K98 Mauser rifle. It was a limited order from an unnamed African nation who supplied the wood for the stocks. Now, there was a case of Yugoslavian made sks rifles stocked in teak. That is a Mitchell's Mausers ad claim that quite frankly is nothing more than a good olde fashioned 'bald faced lie!

I sold it quite s long time ago, but have a 24/52c in its place.
