In today's video, we dive a bit into the various Mauser variants used by the nation of Yugoslavia. The first generation includes the Belgian built Model 1924, the Yugo built M24, and the Czech built M.24A.
The second generation is from the Zastava factory and includes the original M48, the simplified M48A, and the M48B made primarily for export.
Of course then you have the M24/47 and M24/52 upgrades...so yeah, a few Mausers you might say.

For some reason I find military style Mauser way sexier then sporterized ones. The military style with the full stock and the top handguard just do the look a service.

@johnritchie4801 3 года назад

I agree absolutely I hate the sporterized ones

@JonJonGTA 3 года назад

Sporterized ones should never be loved their garbage until their brought back to full glory.

That_NJ_guy, Agreed 💯

Just got my self an unissued/never fired m48. I love the thought of having a “brand new” Mauser it’s so cool.

@Verdha603 5 лет назад

Love Yugo Mausers. So under appreciated when they are quite affordable and have an interesting history in themselves, especially say the original M24’s and the Yugo-captured K98k, aka the M98/48.

@misha5670 5 лет назад

Agreed, many interesting variants. I thought about putting the VZ-24 and a Yugo reworked K98 on the table too, but well, it was getting crowded enough lol.

@strahinjastevic7480 3 года назад

M98/48 ???

@traviscochran6280 Год назад

I have an M48A that looks unissued. I like the Yugo Mausers.

@OccamsToyota2 2 года назад

I wonder how Zastava USA's new Mini Mausers are doing.

@MilitaryHistoryMadeEasy 3 года назад

Great video! Do you happen to know when importation on the M48 rifles began?

@revmarcell6449 5 лет назад

Yugoslav Mauser rifles are of high quality. The VZ 24 rifle’s sight protector is very similar to the one on my Czech Mauser from the 1930s. Are these chambered for the older 150 gr S cartridge or for the heavier 196 gr sS cartridge? Thank you. This is an excellent presentation.

@CannaCJ 3 года назад

The 7.92x57mm 196gr IS, .323 diameter round. The big Spitzer. I figure you've looked it up by now, but just in case...

@revmarcell6449 3 года назад

C J many millions of post war 7.92 x 57 mm were still chambered for the older IJ version with a .318 mm 150 gr spritzer bullet. This was probably due the billion rounds left over from the First World War.

@reddevilparatrooper 5 лет назад

I have one that is still in a K98K configuration with M98 on the side receiver and Yugo crest over the top ring and Preduzze 44 next to the M98 marking. Looks and smells like German K98K but renamed M48. Still had German markings all over. Still shoots 5-6 inches vertically at 100 yards with Yugo 198 grain bullets, even an inch more with lighter Romanian light ball steel cased ammo. I am happy.

@geodes4762 Год назад

I have the very same thing!

@schwarzesonnesieg5664 5 лет назад

Just bought one, EXCELLENT rifle. Action like glass! They just don't make em like they used to. It was definitely covered in cosmoline like you said lol.

@misha5670 5 лет назад

Oh yeah, totally caked in it. The M48 in this video was sold on GB and people kept asking me questions about the bore and bolt.....yeah right, it looks like candle wax in there because the cosmo is so thick. Good thing is, very little chance for rust.

@geodes4762 Год назад

I recently acquire a Yugo refurbished K98. The receiver has most of the German stamps only faintly visible but has the Yugo seal prominently engraved into the top of the receiver. The left side if the receiver carries the 98 marking. I understand that the M48 really only has minor differences including the length of the bolt and the opening above the follower area. Any idea how many of these rebuilds the Yugo government produced and why they made the changes in the M48 negating interchangeability of some key parts?

@matejmatej3554 5 лет назад

BO maybe means BEZ OZNAKE =without markings

@misha5670 5 лет назад

Yep, as far as I know that was it.

@علیقنبری-غ9ق 5 лет назад

hi,first thanks alot for your great complete video,my question is this,is am48A as good as k98 in all apsects???thanks

@theduck17 5 лет назад

What a coincidence, I'm knee deep in an M48 rebarreling right now. My M48B had a sewer pipe barrel, replacing it with hopefully a Lothar Walther, if I can get my barrel guy to get the barrel contour right. Interesting fact about the M48 series, the barrels are the only ones to have Mausers "safety breech" incorporated into the design. Mausers have an unsupported cartridge that is supported with the slight protrusion along with a slot cut for the extractor to fit into, this encloses the cartridge fully. I guess this was Paul Mauser's feature that wasn't necessary, as you've never really heard of a K98k blowing out too badly since Mauser was also obsessed with how his rifles handled gas, but the safety breech was sort of his final touch to an already amazing action. Can't wait to get my M48B back, I have a feeling it's going to be one heck of a tack driver.

Hi Mischa I love your videos I was wondering if you would do a video on the 1940 Serbian M24 carbine if possible . Thanks and keep up the great work.

There are several different flavors/smells too.

Thanks for the video and the info Misha! I am in love with those Yugos. I like them even better than the German ones for some reason. I also find them incredibly accurate.

Juhej juuupiiii Jugoslavija where i was born when it was still under great leader TITO hehehe greetings from Slovenia P.S we are doing so much better without Yugoslavia and other ex Yugo countries

@misha5670 5 лет назад

I don't think i could say 'Great Leader' for him....not even in gest or joking haha. Well at least he wasn't as beholden to Stalin as other communist leaders? so that's something. I wish i had the space & time to collect all Yugo Mauser variants but you know how it is. So many guns, so little time in life.

@burmiester1 5 лет назад

@@misha5670 Tito and Hoxha seemed to be the most "benevolent" communist leaders aside from Gorbechav I suppose, though that isn't really saying much lol Communism breeds totalitarian leaders.

@kolobara08 4 года назад

@Misha - With all due respect Misha, Tito was much more than a great leader, he was a statesman and a great diplomat. Unlike Churchill or Stalin, Tito was among his soldier, the only European leader who was a soldier as well. Just google ''Tito's funeral wiki'' and the introductory part speaks for itself about who Tito was. You will see that your first sentence is based more on ignorance(or even propaganda) than objective opinion. There is a farce going on among exYugos that the only two people from '45 up to this day who smoked in the White House were Tito and Monica Lewinsky (we say smoking to refer to sucking or blowing a d...) @burmiester1 - Tito and Hoxha in the same sentence... nah dude, you are way off! @Matej matej - Slovenia joined Yugoslavia mainly to get rid off Austrian domination and influence. Croats just like you brag about Croatia but without Yugoslavia, Istra and other parts of Croatian coast would be Italia today. Without Yugoslavia, Slovenes would be germanized Slavs without any doubt. It is unthankful not to consider wider perspective when making statements. I'm not trying to mock anyone here nor am I a Yugo or Tito sympathizer, I'm just pushing for objectiveness here.

Dude you Rock. Wish you much success ! I appreciate your knowledge . I have the M48A in very fine shape beyond the one you own . I appreciate your knowledge to assist me with my M48A that I named " Heinrich" it was put a time capsule since 1950's . Keep up the great posts !

@strahinjastevic7480 3 года назад

Are you sure that domestic production of the m24 started in the 40's ? Seems kinda off since yugoslavia got occupied in april 1941, it surely had to be a bit earlier.

@russream3732 5 лет назад

What am I looking at? Yugo marked M24/47 with turned down bolt, stamped mag floor plate and open top (wide) front sight protector; looks like the VZ24 sight protector, just like your open top sights on your M24? Get or pass?

@0Asterite0 4 года назад

I accidentally won a bid on a Yugo M24/52 C. Is that essentially like a Yugo M98/48 refurbish of a k98k, but with the VZ 24 instead?

Thanx for the video, I used 2 cans of aerosol gun scruber,,, Was shooting the same afternoon,,, Get reloading dies , And order up some beartooth bullets,,, Start with 500 rounds,, And then fine tune your powder charge, And see if you need to lap the bore... Kit Also from beartooth bullets

@VCBird6 5 лет назад

Had an M24/47 that, while fun to shoot and sturdy, just wasn't particularly accurate and the bolt never ran very smoothly (bad bore and most likely a force-matched bolt). Sold it and picked up an M48. MUCH better rifle overall (if lacking in as much potential history as the M24/47). Put a scout scope on it (can't see those barley corn sights worth a damn) and it holds ~1-2 MOA with handloads easily. Great gun! Great collection, Misha!

@misha5670 5 лет назад

I didn't have great luck the time I bought an M24/47 myself. The firing pin was bent as it turned out.
