What's Included
- Zastava (Preduzece 44) Mod. 98 stripped receiver/action marked with Yugoslav crest and "Mod. 98"
The receiver is a Zastava Arms (Preduzece 44) Yugoslav-refurbished Mauser 98, marked with the Yugoslav crest and side-rail "Mod. 98." It reflects the post-WWII program that standardized captured and stored Mauser 98 actions, often referenced as the Mod. 98/M98/48 effort.
Built on the standard-length, large-ring 98 pattern, the forged steel receiver retains the core Mauser controlled-round-feed architecture. The finish is blued, consistent with Zastava refurbishment practices of the period.
Receiver features include the integral stripper-clip guide on the rear bridge and the left-side thumb cut for charging with clips. The internal box-magazine well opening is present as part of the standard K98k-type configuration.
Markings include "PREDUZECE 44," the Yugoslav crest, and "Mod. 98." The action follows the Mauser platform and is commonly compatible with K98k-pattern components, making it a correct foundation within that family of parts.
