Description:
The Yugoslavian Mauser M48A is a classic bolt-action military rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm). Produced at the Zastava Arms plant (Preduzece 44) between 1952 and 1965, the M48A was a refined post-WWII version of the Model 1924 design with significant influence from the German Kar98k.
Product Overview
- Design: Features an intermediate-length action and receiver, making it slightly shorter than the standard Gewehr 98 but built with the same legendary Mauser strength.
- Action: Solid, machined forged-steel bolt and receiver designed to handle high-pressure 8mm cartridges.
- M48A Features: This specific variant introduced sheet-metal stampings for the magazine floor plate to streamline production while maintaining the machined integrity of critical components.
- Stock: Traditional full-length wood handguard that extends behind the rear sight, paired with a heavy-duty steel cupped butt plate.
- Sights: Hooded front sight and a tangent rear sight adjustable from 200 to 2,000 meters.
