The thread title says it all. I bought a Yugo 24/47 packed in cosmoline today and bought the ammo they had on hand. I had a lot of rounds that needed two primer strikes (the firing pin was leaving a good mark, not the rifle) and one that completetly didn't fire at all after two tries. Anyone know of some good sure-fire Mauser surplus that isn't the steel-jacketed Turkish stuff?
The rifle got cleaned before my range trip and I found that there was no rust anywhere. The bore is a mirror, with strong rifling (it looks new). The action is nice and tight and the stock is in fairly good shape. I had a lot of fun shooting it today, but my shoulder isn't on the same page.
