I just received my Samco M24/47 this week and it looks like it was made last week. All the number match and it looks like it will be a great shooter. Does anyone know if there is anyway to date the manufacture? Is the serial number an indicator? Mine is a K followed by three digits.

Nice. How much are they selling for? -
from my research there is no way to tell what year theses rifles were converted from mauser rifles 10,935 were converted in 1947. a unknown number in 1948. likely a few were converted as late as 1951 according too yugoslavia records. if you want more info on yugo mauser I recommend serbian and yugoslav mauser rifles by branko bogdanovic, published by north capepublications, inc. good reading too you

How long did it take Samco to ship the rifle?

The Yugo M24/47 rifles were not made from German Model 98 rifles. They were made from Yugo M24 rifles, hence the "M24" part of the name. They have a slightly shorter receiver and bolt than a German K98 rilfes.from my research there is no way to tell what year theses rifles were converted from wermacht mod 98. 10,935 were converted in 1947. a unknown number in 1948. likely a few were converted as late as 1951 according too yugoslavia records. if you want more info on yugo mauser I recommend serbian and yugoslav mauser rifles by branko bogdanovic, published by north capepublications, inc. good reading too you
The Yugo's did have a rifle called the M24/52 which was made from Czech Model 24 rifles. The Czech M24 uses a full length Model 98 action.
The Yugo's also reworked captured German K98 rifles after WWII, but I don't recall what they named that model.__________________

still not correct! correct markings would be M24/52-C denoting czech manufacture. M24/52 for yugoslavia manufacture.The Yugo M24/47 rifles were not made from German Model 98 rifles.

Yeah, that's right. They were M24/52c rifles and not M24/52 rifles like I originally said. I totally forgot to include the letter C at the end there. Stupid, stupid mistake on my part. Thanks for correcting me on that.
But the main point I was trying to make was that the M24/47 rifles were not made from captured German rifles as you claim.

your correct on this, book is not really clear it states from mausers conversion were made. but it state also from M24 with old rifle parts and used and new M24 type stocks. this text in book isn`t quite clear what type of mauser.Yeah, that's right. They were M24/52c rifles and not M24/52 rifles like I originally said. I totally forgot to include the letter C at the end there. Stupid, stupid mistake on my part. Thanks for correcting me on that.

I`m assuming now they were most likely all M24`s. thanks for your input
