MAUSER M-95 7MM, TURNED DOWN SPORTER BOLT (CHROME OR NICKLE PLATED) GD. The Yugo rifles have a slightly shorter, intermediate length receiver, and uses a straight bolt handle rather than the bent handle common to. The M24/47 is a Yugo military rifle based on the same Mauser design as the Gewehr 98. Mauser style flip lever safety.
I need to order more before the supply runs out.I can tell you that Mitchell's is something of a dirty word on many of those sites. Some people say they have FTFs or second strikes with '50s Yugo, but I've never had a problem with it. The other half is '70s and looks brand new. Half of it is '50s production and on stripper clips. I'm sort of in the same boat you are - looking for a mauser, enfield, etc.I've stocked up on around 1800 rounds of Yugo. HANDLE TURNED DOWN TO SPORTER NEEDS TLC AND FINISHING.I'd suggest doing a little research on some of the military surpus sites.
Apparently the russians just sort of tossed all the parts in piles and put them back together at random - virtually guaranteeing you won't find them with matching bolts and receivers.Maybe someone else will come along with more expertise. (often marked with an X on the receiver). Of course the 8mm Kar98 would be a great option, though they really seem pricey when you look at the nicer models made before the end of the war, when slave labor and hurried construction supposedly contributed to a decline in quality on the rifles.It's been suggested to avoid the mausers that went through Russian rearsenals. The Czech mauser (v24, I think) also gets high grades. Seems to be very well regarded.
Refinished 8Mm Yugo Mauser Plus Rifle Collectors
All the ones I've seen are very nice (clean bores, no corrosion) around $250-$350 range, you can get a very high quality Mauser with that variant.Also the surplus rifle collectors forums can be a big help:All the ones I've listed shoot the standard 8mm Mauser ammo. If you want a Mauser that looks "unissued condition" as close to new as you are going to get, looks at a Yugo M48 or m24/47 version. Just happens to be a subject I've been researching extensively this past month.Like anything else, It depends on "how much you are wiling to spend".Almost all of the K98 Mausers you see in the $350-500 range will be Russian captures, that is how alot of K98's got imported to the US recently.The Russian captured k98 rifles have the bolt "force matched" to the receiver, there is an electro-pencil S/N written on the bolt to match the receiver.A true "war bringback" German k98 (not import-marked and not Russian-capture, bolt matching S/N) is $$$ expensive.There are many other variants of "Mausers" made by other countries (including the US) around the time of WW1 & WW2.
As far as I've seen, they are not completely "k98" rifles. Their rifles are created from mixed different variant parts. There are so many other good Mauser variant rifles still available (see above), I don't see why anyone would pay the money for a Mitchell's Mauser. Keep in mind if you buy another variant that is not 8mm Mauser the ammo costs and/or just finding ammo may be a hassle.Yes, "Mitchell's Mausers" is a dirty-word around the collectors forums.
