I have both of these rifles. They are both superb. The action on
the 24/47 is basically a clone of the K98 action. The bolt handle is
a straight on the M24/47. The stock and handguard are a little different
as well.
I had passed up the M24/47 and the M48 for quite a while in my collecting,
being satisfied with my K98 rifles. I had a chance to pick up a mint
M24/47 that had an attractive stock and bought it. I was highly impressed
by the build quality and the accuracy of the rifle. I have yet to see a
higher quality mauser available for the price than what the M24/47's have
been going for. Many, if not most, of these rifles have new bores. I now
have a couple more of them and also an M48A.
