Yugoslav Model 24/47
A friend wanted to acquire a decent military rifle at a reasonable price. He checked various websites and asked if he should order one of the $295, $395 or $495 models on one site. I advised him to visit a local gun shop and look at what was available. We agreed to meet yesterday and spent an hour going over the racks of surplus rifles.
He liked a 1903A3 Springfield but paled at the $600 hang tag price. The Moison Nagants and Enfields were interesting and priced about right. Then we came across an unissued Yugoslav 24/47 with matching numbers, a perfect bore and a lovely walnut stock and handguard. He bought it for $160 and was thrilled. I considered charging a finder's fee (LOL). I suspect he will shoot this rifle in an upcoming Battle of the Bulge match at our club. All the best... Gil

He is still thrilled
This chap is so happy with that 24/47 he emails me about once a day asking questions and telling me how happy he is with this rifle. It shot a bit high at the range. He ordered a higher front sight blade from Gun Parts Corporation and is good to go. All the best...
