Replacement Yugo M24/47 Mauser Stock?

[ddewyse]

Hello:
My next C&R rifle purchse will be a Yugo M24/47 Mauser when I put away enough cash. I am looking on a few sites and see replacement / sporter stocks available. What type should I be looking at? Is the Yugo M24/47 7 7/8" action hole spacing or is it 7 5/8" hole spacing? I am thinking it is the 7 7/8" with the "large ring" action. Would I be correct.

I was looking into the same thing. From what I have been told, Yugo and Czech Mausers are large ring, just like the 98s.

Gotta admit, the Boyd's JRS unfinished one looks great, more of a project, but what stock fitting isnt?

The M24/47 is an intermediate 98 action, and is shorter than the typical 98 action.

Stocks are not interchangeable between the two.

www.sporterexpress.com used to carry a pretty decent selection, haven't looked in awhile.

I've been had! Last time I listen to gunstore workers, then again, I have been fed wrong info before!

To let you know the barrel is a large ring but fireball is right it's an shorter action than a 98. If you are looking for a finished stock, good luck last time I knew there aren't any although boyds offers a finished laminate stock for 92 bucks. If you want to finish a stock boyd and richards microfit both have stocks. I have taken a bell & carlson 98 stock and redid the recoil lug screw hole, and then with 2 part epoxy bedded everything, filled in the holes and it worked pretty well. If you are going to do anything except shoot open sights or a scout mount scope you are going to have to get the bolt redone and grove the reciever to make it all work. Oh they are listed as a M48 stock, same action.

Thanks everyone for the heads up. Glad I asked before I plunked down money on a stock that wouldn't work. I appreciate the insight.

Modifying weapons bought on a C&R liscense will be no longer C&R and could get your butt in trouble with the ATF.

Don,
I'm just looking to put the gun in a stock for hunting and maybe add a scope. All will be available to put the gun back to original configuration with very little work. Thanks for the info though.
