[QUOTE="outofayr, post: 495945, member: 13568"] +1 The 48 is what is known as an intermediate action, and is only a little shorter than the standard 98 footprint. The Yugos are safety breached, and use a different bolt as a result. The action length difference won't matter in making them shoot. I've used an aftermarket trigger guard with an insert and shorter follower in my .22-250 Rem on the VZ-24 and it feeds like butter. Having said that, though, I didn't have any trouble getting that round to feed from the standard length mag. I just didn't like all that extra space in there :rolleyes: I, too, built mine using the Adams & Bennett prethreaded, short chambered barrel from Midway in an F34 contour. This is heavier than sporter, so it makes a nice walking varminter at 24" long. The only down side of this barrel is its slow twist (1-14"), so it won't stabilize some 55 gr bullets. But, the lighter bullets shoot fine, and if wind's an issue, I go to more gun anyway, so it doesn't bother me at all. The barrel is what makes a good shooter, along with chambering, threading, etc. concentric w/ bore. For the money, I'm very pleased with the A&B barrels. Plus, you can usually get them right away instead of waiting 3-6 months for Shilen....but Shilen will shoot at least as good if not better, and will clean up easier. Have fun with your build, and enjoy! Brian [/QUOTE]
