I own two of them. Great surplus guns.
i just bought one of these Yugoslavian M48's it had been in Ethiopia for some time so pretty dirty and gritty but cleaned up pretty well haven't shot it yet hope it shoots as well as my Gewhr 98.
Nice! Was it the RTI stuff from Ethiopia?
Absolute gorgeous rifle. Hope you keep it. Getting more and more expensive to own one of these fine rifles.
The Yugo’s are still pretty cheap relative to other mausers but yeah she is looking good!
Very nice and accurate rifle. I own a M48A and Iam quite happy with it. Excellent video, well done!
Beautiful rifle. I've got mine a couple of weeks ago in pristine condition and UNFIRED ! The question is to shoot or not to shoot her 🤔
Keep yours as a show piece and get a 2nd one for shooting. They’re still inexpensive.
6:22 You got it backwards. The K98 is a long receiver and the M48 bolt was too short prevention the front locking lugs to reach the locking surface in the receiver preventing you from turning down the bolt.
On the M48/M48A/M247/47 the receiver is shorter and the K98k bolt is over inserting passing the locking surface. Measure the bolts with a tape measure to see what I mean.
In the research I've done I don't believe that stock is laminated. Sounds like it's a variety of elm. I would bet they put that shiny coating on it because it's a very rough wood and likely to give you a sliver. There is a video from a guy in Canada that explains the stock. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, it’s very possible. My stock is definitely shinier than generic examples so I figured someone tampered with the stock at some point in the US.
The stock is European Elm. When a hand oiled finish is done with varying grits of wet dry sand paper they are a thing of beauty. However the oil must be applied very sparingly with European Elm and then I start a light hand rubbing process with 800 then 1200 and finishing with 1500 grit paper.
Looks like bubba jeweled the bolt and sanded and pimp shined the stock, polished the hell out of the metal and reblued it too.
The M48 has an intermediate length receiver so I think you got it backwards on which bolt is shorter/longer. The Yugo bolt should be short in the K98 action.
I did get it backwards. Yeah, thing was definitely pimped with.
I have a 48a all matching built when they first started to make them.. I don't think it was ever shot or issued shoots better than my 98's .. be well.
Make them? In the 50s? How older are you?
My friend you are mistaken or misinformed regarding both the stock and the bolt on that M48 Yugoslavian Mauser. The bolts ON ALL the Yugo Mauser are “white” shiny steel. This IS NOT something that was done privately by an individual. As to the stock they are made from “field elm” or European Elm and that one the you have in your video obviously had a HIGH GLOSS finish which IS NOT military specific. I can assure you that MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT A LAMINATED stock. The Germans did use a laminated stock on the K98 K later in the war at about the same time they started using stamped metal parts in the production of the late war Mauser in order to speed production. A little RESEARCH can be very useful.
I’m talking about the jeweling on the bolt. That is not original and was done privately.
👌👌👌👌❤
Hell yeah!
