The Mitchell's Mausers M48A is a meticulously rebuilt Yugoslavian bolt-action rifle that combines historical significance with modern performance. Specially crafted with spare and new parts in the US, this rifle is a reimagined version of the post-WWII Zastava Arms M48, itself an adaptation of the famed German Karabiner 98k. Chambered in the potent 8mm Mauser, the M48A offers exceptional accuracy and reliability, making it an ideal choice for collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike.
The overall condition of this M48A is excellent, displaying only faint signs of previous use or handling. The bore is bright and clean with a mirror finish, and the rifling remains sharp, ensuring top-notch performance. The rifle features an oil-resistant Teak wood stock with a metal buttplate, adding to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Minor tarnishing on the metal buttons of the sling is the only notable wear, with the rest of the rifle in pristine condition.
Included in the sale are the original owner's manual and paperwork, a leather ammo pouch, and six 5-round stripper clips, providing everything you need to get started. The rifle also features a bayonet lug on its 23.25" barrel, adding to its historical authenticity and versatility.
The M48A is particularly notable for its rear adjustable leaf V notch sight and front adjustable dovetail shrouded pyramid blade, which offer precision aiming capabilities. The rifle's 5-round capacity and robust bolt-action mechanism ensure reliable performance, whether you're at the range or out hunting.
