my mom learned to shoot with one of these when she was in school. there was a school subject where teens in yugoslavia learned to shoot (called "Obrana i Zaštita").
My first rifle may Dad gave me was a Czech VZ-24 he brought back from the Korean War. The Chinese had a ton of these rifles. The rifle was kind of beat up but the bore was good along with the bolt. I learned how to clean and take it apart. I couldn't shoot for shit with it but I cleaned it a lot because of the surplus German ammo that was left over. Too bad my Mom sold the rifle when I lived with my Uncle in NYC. I eventually bought an M24/47 and it brought me back to my childhood but I started to shoot better. 😁😁😁❤❤❤
Obrana i zastita (defending and protection) is where you learned about basic gun stuff, what to do when in an emergency (war, nuclear bomb, natural disasters) and everything else useful in bad situations. Much better than religion tbh

I have a beautiful all numbers matching Austrian manufactured Mauser, complete with the waffenamp and...erhmm... other German symbols... came with the bayonet and all. Gorgeous piece of history.
Weirdly enough for this rifle a German helmet would’ve also been very appropriate. Also I love the Josep Tito quote of when Stalin kept sending men to kill him he wrote Stalin back and said “if you send one more man to kill me, I will send one to kill you.” And my personal favorite part of that quote. “And I won’t need to send another.”
8 mm Mauser was my first hunting rifle. My dad got it for me when I was 12 and it's still one of my favorite guns to this day. It is a metal butt plate on it someone had hollowed out it was just big enough for some rods a cleaning pouch and some other things if yours has a metal book plate take it off and see what's in there
Brandon: "Do you have any..." Ammo dealer: "Sorry, sir, but no, we don't. Not 9mm, not 5.56, not 7.62, not .44, not .38, not .32, not even .22. Nothing, sir." [Shakes head sadly] Brandon: "... 8mm Mauser?" Ammo dealer: [A tear of joy trickles down his face]

It is times like these where you appreciate having some off the wall calibers (eventhough that wasn't always the cause in 8mm Mauser). Can still feed my 458 Socom even when I can't feed my 45 auto.
M48 owner here: Yugo Mausers are profoundly hard to harm with your bare hands. In fact, they often do not respect you, if you do NOT slap them around like they owe you money. Meanwhile, my personal pipe dream: an AR or AK in 8mm, for less than the $4k+ the Yugo 8mm AKs are going for
Full name of that school subject was: Nationwide Defence and Community Self Protection (Općenarodna obrana i društvena samozaštita) That subject was combination of preparation for military service, guerilla warfare, civilian protection and first aid.
The Mauser k98 is such a beautiful firearm, operates like a dream and is extremely reliable. I had a czech surplus mauser mark of 1944 which i had to have restocked as the original stock was split and in very poor shape, but the action and the rifling was still in perfect order after having god knows how many rounds put through it over the past 80+ years. 8mm makes an absolutely perfect hunting round for deer, leaves the wound oddly clean for what was designed to dump a lot of energy into target as a military cartridge. If you ever have the opportunity to fire or use one for hunting i would highly recommend it!

Serbian mausers (m24 to be exact), were made by FN Herstal , and they also helped the government of Kingdom of Yugoslavia to set up their own production of rifles in Kragujevac (present day Zastava Arms, back then Institute of military technology)
The Yugo 24/47's were actually patterned off the Belgian (FN) Model 1924 rifle, the pre-WWII Yugo 1924 rifle and the Czech VZ 24. The German k98k's were reworked into 98's and 98/48's. Yugoslavia had a fairly large stockpile of various types of Mausers to rework and rearm the postwar Yugo army.

If I remember right it's pretty much a direct copy(licensed copy though) of FN's commercial Mauser from the '20s. In fact a good chunk of them were initially bought from FN, stockpiled and then had new barrels installed later on before they went to the M48.
I love the m24/47. I asked my hunter safety teacher about it when they were on sale at Big 5 and he said "buy it". I've owned fancier rifles since but it's still one of my favorites
My 24/27 is my favorite rifle of all time. I shot it at a 600 yd range for the first time this week. Had to walk it in on elevation, but my spotter called "3 oclock, 5 oclock..." etc like 4 in a row. And it took me a second to realize he was calling HITS.
My family is from Slovenia, my grandfather, who is still alive, was handed one of these rifles literally the day before the Soviets reached Belgrade. He and all his friends promptly threw all their rifles in a big bonfire so the Russians couldn’t identify them as the enemy. It was because of this that my grandfather is still alive and didn’t go to a gulag *correction, the one he received was actually a Mauser.

The Yugo Mausers are great guns. Well made good barrels, and very reliable, Yugoslav Mausers come in one of three flavors, ether they are captured rebuilds, M24/48 or M48 versions. Mauser collectors in the past have rated them at the bottom for collectabilty for years and now the prices are going up as the mil-surp market is drying up. Even those that shunned these great guns are trying to find one. To think when I got my Yugo post-war K98K rebuild, I only paid $200 for the gun. Now I'm luck to get a Mauser firing pin for that money.
I got a new Mauser somewhat recently as well, a K98k model SWP 45. It has some weird and interesting history, from what I can gather it was built in Czechoslovakia post-WW2 in a factory that had previously been run by the Germans, so it's technically a Czech rifle built on German machinery. Rifles like that are considered rare and desirable, and neither me nor the seller realized that at the time of sale.
I would very much love to see a bunch of gunsmiths coming together to see if they truly can make a handheld bolt gun as realistically yet canonically as possible.
@@darthcerebus Already Possible: Just Load up a Pancor Jackhammer with "Frag-12" stabilised granade projectiles from the AA-12. The only thing you'd be missing would be the rocket propelling part of a standart Bolt Shell.
Hello Brandon. You handled that 24/47 like it was nobody's business. I aquired An unissued yugo Mauser in 2006. all numbers match. it had a big scratch in the stock, so I refinished lt using Minwax clear .It's an unbelievable rifle.
A slight correction, my good sir. This rifle was developed from the Mauser Gewehr 98 infantry rifle, much the same as the Czech Vz. 22/24. The Mauser Karabiner 98k wasn't developed and adopted by the Germans until about 1935. Still, a fine video and a good solid rifle.
It's because when he first uploaded the video it was set to private or unlisted so he commented before it was set to public but the "timer" on the video only starts when the video is set to public.
For any fellow time travellers, regrettably the history laid out here is a ways off. M24/47 is the designation given to pre-war M24 rifles that underwent a post-war refurbishment programme. The M24 was a domestically produced licensed copy of the FN M1924 and was in service with the Yugoslavians for a number of years prior to the Axis occupation of ‘41-‘45. The FN M1924 and its licensed Yugo clone have receivers and bolts of distinct longitudinal dimensions from those of the G98 and all the variants based on the G98 action (Kar98az, Kar98k, Czech vz.24, Polish wz.29, Spanish M1938 etc.): the receiver and bolt are slightly shorter in length. Prior to tooling up for domestic production, the Yugos initially bought Belgian production M1924s for a time. While the Czechs were indeed forced to produce Kar98ks for the Wehrmacht, and while Polish wz.29 parts were shipped to Austria for assembly to the Kar98k pattern for distribution to rear echelon units, the Germans never got around to having the Yugo’s Zastava plant produce Mausers of any variant for the German war effort. The M24/47 (refurb), its successor the M48 (new pattern, new production) and the 98/48 (actual German K98s captured from the occupying German garrison when they were finally pushed out of the region in ‘45, refurbished and restamped with the Yugo crest but with the ‘Mod. 98’ stamp left intact) were all part of a pragmatic, resourceful post-war infantry rearmament programme that sought to ensure the Yugoslavians had something serviceable to defend their sovereignty with in the interim until a modern, self-loading service rifle could be identified, adopted and produced.
I have probably put 2K round through a variety of Mausers over the years, never have really liked the straight bolt guns.... 8mm is a hell of a round you hit something with it, it falls down.
You need a Polish mauser in your collection. Poland was one of the first slavic countries to adopt Mauser after 1918 as we got a full working mauser factory in Gdansk later moved to Radom.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. I see almost every video creator with a bolt gun these days taking the rifle out of the shoulder to cycle the next shot. Has everyone just forgotten how to run bolt actions properly? You might need to lift the cheek with longer bolts, but no reason to take the stock off the shoulder. Use palm (OK) or v of the hand (better) to run the bolt handle.
Got a 1940 K98K with *ahem* German stamps still on it, JP Sauer code 147. Bought some old steel core AP rounds, ripped the bullets out and reloaded them into a modern casing/powder/primer so I can have all the fun with no corrosive ammo. Smoothest bolt gun I have ever used as far as the action goes.
I purchased the Yogo M 48 carbine several years ago from Mitchell’s Mausers, 75 year old new never issued rifle, came with bayonet, leather ammo pouch, leather sling, cleaning kit and some surplus 8mm ammo, price was $295.00 then. Great shooter and looks brand new.
Brandon passed from being that weird middle brother who locked himself in the room to listen to K-pop, to the cool big bro who takes you out for pizza on weekends, and all of that in one year.
I'd really love one of these! I actually kind of prefer a straight bolt handle on bolt actions (if they don't have scopes of course). I feel it gives me more leverage when opening the bolt.
I remember seeing these for sale at big 5 for $299. Mosins cost 200 and went on sale for 100, I was beast with it on World at War so guess which one I got.
love this one, my first hunting rifle was actually an m34 Yugo (in 8mm). not getting any points for its weight, but it was fun to shoot and reliable as heck. my only complaint was that, being my grandfathers gun, he had it sporterized when he bought it in the 70's, so it doesn't have the classic look.

I know it's iron maiden but the name of the song escapes me. I personally love the band tho.
Hallowed be thy Name
Sees Yugo Mauser.
Smiles in Momčilo Đujić.
My family is from Slovenia, my grandfather, who is still alive, was handed one of these rifles literally the day before the Soviets reached Belgrade. He and all his friends promptly threw all their rifles in a big bonfire so the Russians couldn’t identify them as the enemy. It was because of this that my grandfather is still alive and didn’t go to a gulag
*correction, the one he received was actually a Mauser. Still this very similar to the one he would have been provided in 44
I love mine. Picked it up when I worked for CAI in Montreal in the 90's.

@asdrubale bisanzio I thought that was part of the fun. Kidding, but seriously wouldn't the soldiers that possibly used the Mobrez would have adrenaline in their system this not making them feel the pain too much until they win the battle or not win

Same lmao
ME TOO I LOVE MY 24/47
Happy to see the k98 & 8mm Mauser being used again
The Yugo Mausers are great guns. Well made good barrels, and very reliable, Yugoslav Mausers come in one of three flavors, ether they are captured rebuilds, M24/48 or M48 versions. Mauser collectors in the past have rated them at the bottom for collectabilty for years and now the prices are going up as the mil-surp market is drying up. Even those that shunned these great guns are trying to find one. To think when I got my Yugo post-war K98K rebuild, I only paid $200 for the gun. Now I'm luck to get a Mauser firing pin for that money.
Owner of white claw: how dare he shoot are product
Brandon: yeehaw nascar
I got a new Mauser somewhat recently as well, a K98k model SWP 45. It has some weird and interesting history, from what I can gather it was built in Czechoslovakia post-WW2 in a factory that had previously been run by the Germans, so it's technically a Czech rifle built on German machinery. Rifles like that are considered rare and desirable, and neither me nor the seller realized that at the time of sale.

Was expecting some big Dakka or Slugger
@@dabigork When don't you expect big Dakka?
I would very much love to see a bunch of gunsmiths coming together to see if they truly can make a handheld bolt gun as realistically yet canonically as possible.

Hello Brandon. You handled that 24/47 like it was nobody's business. I aquired An unissued yugo Mauser in 2006. all numbers match. it had a big scratch in the stock, so I refinished lt using Minwax clear .It's an unbelievable rifle.
You know ammo is getting bad when the AK Guy has switched to a bolt action.
can we just appreciate the Iron Maiden playing in the background at 0:26
A slight correction, my good sir. This rifle was developed from the Mauser Gewehr 98 infantry rifle, much the same as the Czech Vz. 22/24. The Mauser Karabiner 98k wasn't developed and adopted by the Germans until about 1935. Still, a fine video and a good solid rifle.

It's because when he first uploaded the video it was set to private or unlisted so he commented before it was set to public but the "timer" on the video only starts when the video is set to public.

For any fellow time travellers, regrettably the history laid out here is a ways off.
M24/47 is the designation given to pre-war M24 rifles that underwent a post-war refurbishment programme. The M24 was a domestically produced licensed copy of the FN M1924 and was in service with the Yugoslavians for a number of years prior to the Axis occupation of ‘41-‘45. The FN M1924 and its licensed Yugo clone have receivers and bolts of distinct longitudinal dimensions from those of the G98 and all the variants based on the G98 action (Kar98az, Kar98k, Czech vz.24, Polish wz.29, Spanish M1938 etc.): the receiver and bolt are slightly shorter in length. Prior to tooling up for domestic production, the Yugos initially bought Belgian production M1924s for a time. While the Czechs were indeed forced to produce Kar98ks for the Wehrmacht, and while Polish wz.29 parts were shipped to Austria for assembly to the Kar98k pattern for distribution to rear echelon units, the Germans never got around to having the Yugo’s Zastava plant produce Mausers of any variant for the German war effort. The M24/47 (refurb), its successor the M48 (new pattern, new production) and the 98/48 (actual German K98s captured from the occupying German garrison when they were finally pushed out of the region in ‘45, refurbished and restamped with the Yugo crest but with the ‘Mod. 98’ stamp left intact) were all part of a pragmatic, resourceful post-war infantry rearmament programme that sought to ensure the Yugoslavians had something serviceable to defend their sovereignty with in the interim until a modern, self-loading service rifle could be identified, adopted and produced.
Mauser in any form = one of the best bolt actions of all time!😎
WAIT A SEC!!! The AK Guy himself shooting at a red star?! What did happen to the world?
It’s still 2020.
my uncle captured one of these from a Serbian soldier in the war. It very nice gun but has a hell of a kick. Greetings from Croatia.
I have probably put 2K round through a variety of Mausers over the years, never have really liked the straight bolt guns.... 8mm is a hell of a round you hit something with it, it falls down.
“And this is why helmets like this are shit in tarkov” lol bruv rat life forever
Whatever dude. High ricochet chance = less die.
I meant that as an agreement, realized I sounded mean😂
You need a Polish mauser in your collection. Poland was one of the first slavic countries to adopt Mauser after 1918 as we got a full working mauser factory in Gdansk later moved to Radom.
I watch this video with a Ushanka on my head thinking “Has this man fallen into insanity?”
A real G can run that bolt without taking it off his shoulder.
with a Mauser action?! XD That's just asking for a bruised cheek.
@asdrubale bisanzio yeah no thanks on that. As a Serb I'll stick to running the action away from my cheek...
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. I see almost every video creator with a bolt gun these days taking the rifle out of the shoulder to cycle the next shot. Has everyone just forgotten how to run bolt actions properly? You might need to lift the cheek with longer bolts, but no reason to take the stock off the shoulder. Use palm (OK) or v of the hand (better) to run the bolt handle.
I also recently bought an old mauser myself, and it is fun to shoot

I remember seeing these for sale at big 5 for $299. Mosins cost 200 and went on sale for 100, I was beast with it on World at War so guess which one I got.
love this one, my first hunting rifle was actually an m34 Yugo (in 8mm). not getting any points for its weight, but it was fun to shoot and reliable as heck. my only complaint was that, being my grandfathers gun, he had it sporterized when he bought it in the 70's, so it doesn't have the classic look.
