    Ha, I was editing my post when you quoted me. I believe the information form the book more than anyone. I ve read about him in many Yugo forums. 

    With this said.....time to clean out the M48 and shoot that puppy again.

    According to what i recall form reading some Yugo forums long time ago the production was moved to Germany along with Machines and some workers. So you are correct on this.  Zastava was never in the town of Uzice but in Kragujevac.  The ammo factory is in Uzice (PPU).

    Here is a bit of information on Mitchell as i am somewhat familiar of where he s been getting them for years. 

    Many of Mitchells mausers come from Ex-Yugoslavia successor states where they were sitting in surplus National Guard armories since the early 50s. Yes, The Nazis did take over the production in the 1941-1944 time periods but these guns were made after Tito`s conflict with Stalin in the 1948-1953 tim period.

    I ve seen pictures of him purchasing them from the Macedonian Army depots in the early 90s when i lived over there. They have no collector value as he embellishes the story behind them and he s been known to re stamp old guns and surplus guns that were used (most were in storage but some issued during the 90s Yugo Wars). So although he claims this you dont have a guarantee that you ll get a 100% never fired gun as Mitchells refinishes some of them and nowadays most i believe.

    As they became obsolete with the SKS being introduced in the 50s because it was a semi and became the standard Yugo Army Rifle until 1972 (AKs started being issued) they still remained in storage and ultimately were sold to Mitchell and surplus dealers for sales in Canada,US and such. They also were used in classrooms for demonstration and learning the gun and disassembly (we had preparatory classes for 2 years to prepare you for mandatory service) as well as going to the range and shooting them when you "Graduate". I was in the last generation of recruits that went through this process training on an M48 and had an SKS issued to me in Basic Training for 3 months.

    What you do get is a new shooter grade gun....which you can use and shoot and hunt maybe (a Slovenian acquaintance of mine hunts with it in Alaska). 

    I have one that i bought from a forum member a few years ago and its an M48.

    I started shooting 44mag a year ago. The cartridge i moved up from was 41 Magnum. 

     

    I bought the 629 4inch and also shot the 6inch one. I didn't notice much difference in recoil. I was shooting Freedom Ammo FMJ 44mag which is not a full 44 load.

     

    The 4inch is more maneuverable and i find it pretty good to handle and shoot.  I ve shot full power loads with it and 44 mag with full recoil is hard. 

     

    I m sure others will chime in with more experience......

    I have a G19. A Very good utilitarian gun. Glock. Enough said.

     

    The VP9 is also in the same price range kind of. Didn't like that one. Shot it a few times. Just didnt click. 

     

    But if i could buy a plastic 9mm again  i would pick a PPQ. Try that one before you commit to the G19.

    OK, here's my next question: what brand/type of ammo should I buy for the Ruger 22/45? What's considered a good price? Where are good places to look for sales? That's something I can do right now too! I'm ready to get things moving... woo-hoo!

     

    THANK YOU AGAIN!

     

    The 22/45 is essentially the same gun as the Ruger MK III but with a different handle. 

     

    I ve found that my Ruger MKIII runs well with ANY type of 22LR.

     

    From CCI Mini Mags; Federal Auto Match,CCI Stingers,YellowJackets, Rem Thunderbolt,Aguilla to the infamous Remington Golden Bullet.

    With that said that doesn't mean that YOUR Ruger will run great.

     

    Do try all types of ammo. Do start with CCI Mini Mags as they are the most reliable usually.

     

    Currently a box of 500 rounds of 22LR will run you about 35$-45$ online if you can find it.

    There may be another run on ammo due to this morning`s tragedy in Florida so my advice is to act fast.

     

    Cabelas.com has some in stock right now. Look under Rimfire ammo.

    There are other online retailers but Cabelas is pretty convenient as they don`t require a scanned DL and FID to be sent to them for shipping to NJ.
