Just guessing, I figure it's using an antler to polish the surface. Probably get the same effect from a nylon rod.

IIRC, "boning" is compressing the surface grain by pressing down on the stock with something hard and smooth; it was fairly popular in WWI among soldiers in the trenches, although I remember reading that they used toothbrush handles rather than antlers. I think they may have scraped the surface layers of schmutz off first with a razor if they had one, a shard of broken glass if they didn't.

No, you can buy it just fine, but like all modern firearms being purchased from a dealer it has to be shipped to and transferred by your local ffl.

Yugoslav 24/47 Mausers
I bought one of these years back when they first hit the market, nicely made, mine was an arsenal rebuild with perfect bore and metal and a refinished beat-up stock.
Keep in mind that this is NOT a standard Model 1898 Mauser action. FN made the Model 1924 action a bit shorter to better accommodate the customer preference. So things like the firing pin are significantly shorter than a standard '98, also the barrel breech encloses the case head more than usual, a regular '98 barrel will not fit.
Just so you know...

Actually the term boning has been around alot longer. During the Indian Wars and maybe even back to Civil War days. Using an antler or pocket foldup portion to scrape hard against the wood grain to close it tighter to rain and the elements to keep moisture and swelling to a minimum. That along with linseed oil was pretty common 150 years ago.

Just recently bought one locally. Couldn't save the far end of the stock... too warped, so it got "sporterized". At that point, no reason to try to preserve collector value, so tonight I finished sanding the stock.
With Mojo sights, it makes a very practical, useful hunting rifle just as it is, 175 grains at 2750 FPS with modern pressures.
If you're not happy with 8x57, the Yugos are perfect for 6.5x55, 257 Roberts, 7x57 and 9.3x57 and good for anything based on the 308 case.

The M24/47's is a intermediate length, the bolt is .250 shorter than the German 98 rifle. The majority of these went into storage after re-arsenal. They had a clean and inspect every 3-5 years and may have miss matched floor plates and stock numbers. many have new barrels and bolts, most have new stocks. They show some wear and tear from this inspection regime.
