prices sure have gone up over the last 10 years or so, I paid $100 bucks 6 years ago for my Yugo M24/47, $200 for my 98k, to help a friend out. $300 for an unissued (supposedly) M48a. I am totally satisfied with all my purchases, not that my wife is (haha). the Yugo's are solid rifles that shoot well, but I only shoot military duplicated handloads in mine, no surplus. With a scope 1-2" @ 100 yards, with iron sights 2-4" @ 100 yards, great old guns. The book "Cartridges of the World" lists many of the foreign military loadings that can be duplicated with modern loading manuals & components. These guns are great fun for the whole family. Enjoy !!
