Greetings. I just recently picked up a matching Syrian/ Yugo M48 Mauser and I have a little problem.

I bought the rifle with a missing sight hood and looking screws. I've already replaced the front sight hood, but for some reason, german locking screws don't seem to be the same thread pitch.

I have a couple of locking screws, but when I try to screw them in, they feel really tight, so I stop. I don't want to bugger up the screws or the threads on the trigger guard.

Do the Yugo rifles use a different thread size on the locking screws?

Thanks, ARG

Yugo and Czeck locking screws are the same but are both different from German.

I believe there are different head diameters that may cause you a similar problem.
