All numbers match, the wood is correct and excellent and the bore is pristene. I think I got the better end of the deal. Can't wait to shoot it! Just got my k98 from mitchels.

Got it from my grandfather. I put 8mm rounds through it, shoots straight. The tanget sight has been welded and the receiver is a bit discolored. Other than that its in good shape. Any suggestion on what to do to clean it up? Is it a collectors item? Should I retire it and keep it an a show piece? Would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

They've towned down the REAL NAZI MAUSER re-marked Yugo stuff but that they did it in the past should be a BIG indicator. Still overpriced junk. Buyer beware. Frauds.

Five minutes and the slightest inclination to look would show any potentional customer just what they do. Sorry, bud.

The M48 is supposed to me a modified verison of k98. They also list, as a wood used in the stock, teak. Unless Yugoslavia was importing teak wood (talk about excessive!) from tropical/sub-tropical countries, I highly, highly doubt the stocks on the M48 rifles is actually made from teak. The site seems pretty shifty to me! I perused onto the Mitchell’s Mausers site, and under the Yugoslavian M48 page they claim it is “A genuine Mauser 98″, which the M48 is not?!

They sand down and refinish perfectly good historical stocks, force match RC K98 numbers and generally just mislead those not in the know about actual Milsurp. Micheal’s Mausers are frauds.

The price seems fair for NOS/NIB German Mauser. I forwarded this to my FFL guy who showed me the ad a while back and said he was interested in one. I would be interested in a more detailed description and more detailed photos of this weapon. Is there any chance the original submitter could provide that? These are nice.
