Yugo M48 DMR build - recommendations needed
- Thread starter djrpm
- Start date
Sure can contact Eric Johnson vaughn99@roadrunner.com
I just had my project finished about a week ago - turned out well and he took more time and did nicer work than many originals (usually heavily modified the bases for scope clearance or placed the mounts so you could not use stripper clips when the scope was off etc). Sadly, my guy is north of the border but it cost me 1hour of work $127.00 CDN for the work.

Find some pictures online for your gunsmith to reference, so he completes the work in the manner you would like.

I think he said the project was finished. Was there something his gunsmith didn't complete?
That's an interesting variant of the onm76 scope. I don't think I've seen that before. What's the exact model number?
How did you deal with the hump on the rear receiver bridge? I just shimmed the back half of mine.
I think I paid $200 for mine many years ago and sat in the safe slathered in cosmoline. After I finally stripped and cleaned it, it was in virtually mint, non-issued condition. While I have been able to hit 400 yd steel plates the second stage pull on mine is horrendous. I think it's near 6 lb. I'm actually going to try putting a Huber trigger in it this weekend. I'm very optimistic of what this rifle will be capable of.
Unfortunately my mounts are probably ever so slightly off. I've tried two different ONM76 Scopes and both of them end up with the reticle a bit left in field of view.

Do you have any close ups of the shims?

The front/bottom shim needed some grinding with a Dremel to fit the M48 and I am on the fence about sanding the barrel channel on the stock and upper hand-guard to "float" the barrel with the included cork. Waiting on John Huber to help me fit his adjustable trigger to my barrel/bolt action. After all settles into place I may hone out the inner barrel channel as well. Maybe later.
Milsurp Accuracy Inc. Brian Rau. Great guy. Very helpful via email. https://www.milsurpaccuracyinc.com/
I've already shimmed my PU Snipers with his kits as well. Looking forward to getting to the range.

I just read through this again. I'm sorry, were you looking for pic of the shim under the rear mount? I posted pictures of the acurizing kit shims for the action
Yes, the shims under the rear mount. However, I did save the link to the other shims as well. When I get some extra cash and time away from the kids, this is my next project!

Okay, traveling now but will snap a pic of it this weekend. It really just looks like a thin piece of metal (could just be cut out of a soda can) under the rear base.
Update on the Huber Concepts "Black Teflon Service Match" trigger. . . . .
. . . . it took a bit to tweak and fit into proper adjustment (with John's very willing assistance) but in the end it's just remarkable. I didn't have to inlet my stock as indicated on his websight which is nice and I don't know if the rifle would qualify for official sanctioned military match shooting but as a plinker I couldn't be happier. I'm presently dealing with the fact that I cannot separate the movement of my ONM76's top turret and drum for zero'ing so I haven't fired for groups yet but the feel and action of the rifle are miles beyond "as issued"
And speaking of triggers; if anyone is interested in giving their Mosin PUSniper a major upgrade beyond the shim kits mentioned above you'll want to check out Joshes adjustable 91/30 triggers. Simply an exceptional upgrade to the nasty stock trigger on these as well. . . . .

That looks a lot like the shim kit I offer online.

Finally got a pic for ya. Looks like a thin piece of aluminum folded over once (if you zoom in). Can't see it on the other side.

Thanks. So you didn’t add any solder under the bases then? Did you just use screws with any thread locker (purple loctite)? I have also read some folks having issue with the rear ring being loose after it’s clicked into the base. Do you have any issues with that?
