Nice rifle, for a moment I almost thought you had my pics

Interesting that some of these rifles were made and held forever in reserve and released in the condition of the one you have posted, good find

(Some of your pics are at the same angles as mine though I could never get a good bore shot)

Thanks desdem12. I am curious. The M48As were produced from something like '52 to '65?

First link is to serb and Yugo mauser forum. Has a guy from there that worked in one of the factories and knows everything. Branko bogdonavich I think
He posts a lot there.

Capybara, I've read on these Yugo's the things to look for to see if one is a rearsenal are bluing on the muzzle, rear sight, bolt for example, they should be unblued pretty obvious yours is a new rifle, I believe the stock on yours is beech, I've read the light wood 48's were beech.

Imported by Numrich, back when they imported and sold firearms, haven't seen one of their import stamps in quite awhile.

Is that what that import mark is? I couldn't quite figure out what that said? All I could make out was "Hurley, NY 8mm" Thanks for the education.

Very nice, the bore looks great. That trigger guard is stamped, that's why it has that ridge. A stamped trigger guard makes it a M48B.

Not many, but some M48 rifles did see some use and action, mainly in the Yugoslav Wars. This is one I ran across and had to pick up, compared to my other Yugoslavian Mausers, this ones been beat on quite a bit. I found it at a show, still in packed in the wonderful grease, it was sold for a much lower price due to the overall condition. It looks kinda rough on the outside and has a mismatched bolt, but the bore is pristine on it.

Nice. I like worn rifles as much as new ones, they all have a story to tell.

I want one of these. Or maybe the SKS... I can't make up my mind. I know, you don't have to say it... GET BOTH!

Without a doubt, get both. SKS are really fun to shoot, kind of PITA to break down to clean, although not too bad. M48 is such a bargain.
