A model 12 was never built with a solid frame. They are often confused but are not the same without going into details here but there are several major differences. Sure I realize the bent bolt handles and you do know that some 24-47 were refurbed with bent bolt handles? Model 25 are not built on the exact same machinery.

You do realize most Mod 48 Yugos have bent bolt handles and the Mod 24 and 24/47s have straight handles? The biggest, but not the only, improvement in those later model guns?

Priceless - having clear rules that all of us are willing to follow, no exceptions, no wiggle room.Īnd, if a club wants to allow some newer model at local matches, they are sure free to do so - just let the shooter know it won't fly at a major match. The hard way - trying to cipher out various variations and loopholes and waving of arms about the gun being built on the same production line, except something like 20 years later (after the end of WW II in the case of the Model 48). The easy way - knowing that the Yugo Mausers were model numbered for the year of design, and anything designed before 1946 is good for BAMM. Except the rules for BAM rifles did not list acceptable models numbers, just the phrase (approximately) "built and could have been issued up to the end of WW II." I think we have exactly the same problem here with the Yugo model numbers. Just go by model stamped on the gun, and make life simple and easy both for Match Directors and shooters trying to decide in a gun shop whether a gun is legal for WB or not.

Those have been allowed in, as no one really wanted to have to get out the collector's books and serial numbers lists (if they even exist) and noodle out whether it is really a 25 or a 12. Several folks have pointed out that some guns were made to the Model 25 specs but were stamped Model 12. Several folks have asked over the years, can I run a Model 25? The answer has always been NO. Winchester also made, on I suppose the exact same equipment, the Model 25, a solid-frame light weight cheaper variation of the Model 12. Now, the closest example of what we have done so far in WB is with the Win Model 12. Although their chambering (6.5x55 "Swede") is a little more of a challenge to shoot cast bullets through, as it needs a very long bullet to fill the throat. Several specimens have been circulating through gun shops recently.Īnd the Swedish M96 Mauser and later variations are very nice and in good shape, usually. The K31 (Swiss) also is a good BAMM rifle. Prvi Partisan makes ammo in 8x57 and sometimes other ammo and brass manufacturers turn out a little. That was a Model 24 rifle, rebarreled and refurbished in Yugo arsenals from 1947 forward. However, the Yugo 24/47 makes a very nice BAMM rifle. Thus, unfortunately, not in rules compliance. Those variations on the Mauser design of the M24 Yugo were designed in '48 and all built starting with 1948. Quote from: Garrison Joe on August 04, 2015, 07:31:38 AM I believe I would, should someone show up with a Yugo M48, have to say that that was not a WW II rifle, and thus would not be eligible under our current BAMM rules.
