Yugo M48's are available for $250, hate to modify one- but with the crazy prices now, it's cheaper to buy the entire rifle, and pull the barrel. True K98 action.

Trying to buy the parts, you'll spend much more than that.

And, that's exactly what's been happening. We've all seen perfectly fine, whole rifles being parted out- because they're worth more that way currently.

Yeah, that has been going on for a couple years now. It has been a long time since I saw a "Fixer-upper" at a show or auction.

Hi guys, new to site, sorry if this doesn’t belong here. But, here goes my question, I have a 1938 Turk Mauser I am sporterizing to a 6.5x55 Swede. I already have a m94 takeoff barrel with a good boar I am using. My question is registering bolts, I was going to have a new one welded on and buy a three position Safety, but I noticed Sarco has Dumoulin commercial bolts for $160 with Safety and bolt done. Would anyone hear know if that commercial bolt would fit the 1938 Turk action. It is a K.Kale action, my Gew98 bolt fits in it also. Any info would be greatly appreciated. This gun is going to be a short stalking gun for in woods. Thank you for any replies.

I don't think any action is easier than another. It's a matter of how much work you want done.

Rechambering with a new barrel with new barrel contour.
Bending the bolt handle or replacing it by welding on a new one.
Modifying or replacing the safety.
Drilling and tapping the receiver for a scope mount.
Modifying the trigger guard to make it slimmer.
Plugging any extraneous screw holes.
Removing any scratches and dings on the action.
Replacing or stoning the existing trigger.
Replacing the magazine release (if not Argie 1909) with an extended one.
Replacing or engraving the magaine floor plate.
New stock (cheekpiece if the action is scoped) with new butted (rubber? leather covered? checkered metal?), new grip cap, new fore-end with ebony or other exotic wood?. Inlayed sling swivels or is there a barrel band with a swivel?
