Pay Mitchell's Mausers the bloated price for a good one? At that price, I could buy a Savage at WalMart. What the hell is it with these Yugo actions? They are among the last readily available actions out there for sporterizing, but they pose a problem with removing their shot-out barrels. But it gave way, then unscrewed easily by hand. Something had to give, and for a time I thought it would be fritz. At last resort, I applied maximum allowable heat and used the wrench with a four foot cheater pipe on the action wrench. This one was soaked in Kroil for a week, then heated a little on the receiver ring and tried to unscrew using the conventional barrel vise. I have unscrewed a few, albeit with more effort than the other Mausers. Yet this problem had been resolved 20 years earlier when Centralite proved to be a successful deterent coating.By fritzSeptember 20, in Barrels. This resulted in rifle size powder loads turning into Bullseye pistol powder which in turn converted should held long guns into shoulder held hand grenades. This evolved from problems with early smokeless powder when deterent coatings would not adhere securely to the flakes. Second, a "Safety Breech" which moves the rear face of the barrel into the hole in the Reinforcing Ring inside the front reveiver ring such that the face of the bolt and the rear face of the barrel almost touch - gives maximum enclosure of the base of the cartridge case in case of a case head separtation. This may have been done to minimize retooling of jigs and fixtures used in existing M Mannlichter manufacture. First, an intermediate length action with pre action screw spacing. When the Yugos chose FN to set up a national M98 system rifle they selected two peculiar features. Until today i didnt know i had the option of starting from a blank. Very Nice, I think i am going to go with that style stock as well maybe in pepper. If however, you are willing to start from a blank then there are numerous makers. If you are looking for pre-chambered barrels then they are as are people with the proper reamer. But, it shows how well these rifles can shoot, even with open sights.Īnd, it also shows how the issue barrel can be reworked to a more pleasing profile. Sorry to all those who have already seen this one a million times, lol. The Yugo Mausers tend to have very good barrels on them and are some of the best candidates to keep in 8x57 and sporterize. I learned today that he can make me any contour i want. Yes i have a few barrels or take offs for my mausers, but i didnt find many hits on 8mm mauser barrels other than military take offs. Yes my old barrel is in good shape, my concern there was that it wouldnt look right in a after market stock with the front sights still mounted up, the gun smith. A good place to look is Good old rifle, good luck. You can also go mild to wild in cost for aftermarket military contour barrels. My rifle had the front sight cut off and re crowned for a ATI stock i tried, after that failed i mounted a B-square scout mount with a 2x Not accurate enough with the old barrel? I'm sure you are aware that you can get good original or German k98 take-off barrels to replace the old one. I'm back to playing with my Yugo M I'm going to visit a smith in the morning and see what options he might be able to offer me as far as what barrels there are available in 7.
