The M48's are all new rifles, meaning they weren't built up from old parts or anything, while the M24/47's were built up off of FN and CZ M24's that were bough prior to WWII.
I like both, but the M48's were all new parts. The Finnish Mosin Nagants were the highest evolution of the M91 system. The M39 especially, although Finnish reworked M91's and M91/30's are great rifles too. They are far and away the best Nagants out there. As far as 8mm Mauser vs. 7.62x54mmR..........very simple, in true ARfcom tradition....... Both.  My "B" Barreled M39:     And a Finn in either the Winter War or the Continuation War with a M91/30. Man, it looks cold.   I'm going to move this over to the C&R forum in the Armory section.....you'll get a lot more intelligent responses there I think. |

The 48 has a bent bolt, the 24 has a straight bolt. There's 2 48s. The 48 and the 48A. The 48 has milled parts - trigger guard, etc. The 48A has stamped parts. So the 48 gets a slightly higher price than the 48A all else being equal. Both are fine rifles and like Templar said will typically be new or almost new. The 48 series is a large ring Mauser, but intermediate length action. Not sure about the 24 action length but I'm sure someone will be along to say.
If you get a Mosin Nagant go for the M39 Finnish one. The pinnacle of developement. Very accurate. MN actions normally don't have quite the buttery smooth operation of Mauser but the Finn comes close. I have some of each. Happy with all of them. |

Given the nations that still use 54r as a current machine gun round, I trust the next decades supply of that more than cheap 8mm. M39 is 2moa on 7 cent ammo
 24/47 was generally rebuilt as new after the war, and a bit better made imho. It can also use normal slings, unlike the M48 series needing that funny keeper buckle leather in back. Prefer M39, but Yugo guns/ammo are a great deal right now. |

BUY A FINN!! you CANNOT go wrong with a Finnish mosin-nagant. you'll probably pay an army and a leg compared to a Russian one, but it will be soooo well worth it. The Russian ones are accurate as hell and fun to shoot, but the Finnish made ones are even MORE accurate, and to me would be more fun to shoot (but maybe cause im an aspiring Finnish reenactor :P). plus theyre quite rare and would make a damn nice addition to any collection.
as for the yugo mauser, all ive shot is the m48, and its amazing. and since it was only $90, we couldntve gone wrong anyways. doesn't seem like you can go wrong with a mauser. |

i will also reccomend the finn rifle, a decent m39 will blow the doors off the 24/47 and m48 as far as shootability and collectability go. do guns have doors? check em out here
http://www.gunsnammo.com/ even the ones for right around $150 are well worth getting. |
