lol.......she has worked her way to all time favorite in my collection. shoots an inch @100 with Igmond 170g...........can't wait to try out my handloads on her. Been taking her out coyote hunting all summer, and she's going to be my deer rifle this fall. I have two K98's (a 1944 BNZ 4 and a 1945 SWP45), but this Yugo B0 has really taken the cake!
The gunsmithing was done by Bits of Pieces, and he went to great lengths to make it as historically accurate as possible to look as she would of, had she seen service in the civil war in the 90's. The rear mount was machined down to fit around the stripper clip guide to make it look very natural and proper (the rear mount came from Zrak too long, perhaps is was made for the Zstava sporter rifles?). And the bolt handle was bent ever so slightly to clear the scope. Lots of other smiths that I talked to, wanted simply to chop the rear mount up and "make it fit", but Bits of Pieces was the only guy who knew this particular set up from previous experience, and made the right call to keep it historically accurate and pretty.
The optics themselves get a huge two thumbs up for quality! Maybe not quite as bright as a Leupold............but a far cry better than most stuff, and much better than I was expecting, especially out of a 32mm objective. Besides, just being able to experience the type of equipment in use at that time, is way more neat than a shiny commercial scope anyday!
Anyone else with one of these out there? I am really curious! Did lots of asking around while building this project, but never really heard back if anyone else has one like it?
And any luck with that scout mount bud? I have seen lots on Ebay.......not sure if it would be a pain to get them up here? What kind of scout scope were you thinking of putting on there? Am curious to hear how it turns out!
How about a funky red dot, with a side folding stock.........make it all tacticool!

.........one of those awesome 20 round trench mags for it, and a desert recon paint job!
