Need a firing pin for the Yugo M48, 8mm rifle, does the K98 one work or can it be made to work. I can't find the Yugo firing pins but the K98 ones seem to be available. Thanks

  NOPE, THE YUGO'S ARE ABOUT 1/4" SHORTER. IT'S NOT EASY TO SHORTEN ONE EITHER. IF THE TIP IS BROKEN, YOU COULD 'RE-TIP' IT.
  
  edit; "THE YUGO'S ARE ABOUT 1/4" SHORTER. IT'S NOT EASY TO SHORTEN ONE EITHER".........sure you can but, to do it right, you should use a lathe. just as easy and cheaper to insert a new tip

  I confess to not taking careful measurements, but why cant the M98 pin be altered as shown in the photo? S40

  Nice pic S40. Your thoughts look spot on but I favor retipping the origional if practable (depends on the break). You get set the pin diameter to fit the bolt that way. With a nice quality job no one will ever know where or when it was repaired.
