Very Fine YUGOSLAVIAN M48A C&R 8mm Mauser Military Rifle with ACCESSORIES
With SHEATH, SLING, AMMO POUCH, and CLEANING KIT
Here we present a C&R Yugoslavian Mauser Model 48A Rifle, made circa 1952 to 1965 at Preduzece 44, or “factory” 44. During World War II, Germany had absorbed the Yugoslavian government’s inventory of Mauser rifles into its military and had stripped the Military Technical Institute, Kragujevac (the forerunner to the Zastava Factory Complex) of most useable machines for use elsewhere in the Third Reich’s armaments industry. After the war’s conclusion, Yugoslavia had effectively no remaining capacity to build complete rifles and the technology to do so had to be redeveloped. Consequently, Yugoslavia acquired the necessary machines to manufacture rifles outside their country, most notably with captured German machines in the Soviet Union. Based on prototyping that began in 1948, in 1950 the Model 48 Mauser was finalized and adopted for service. The Model 48 remained in production for only 3 years before being replaced by a simplified version known as the Model 48A with a total manufacturing run of 238,515 between 1950-52.
It was the standard service rifle of the Yugoslav People's Army from the early 1950s until its replacement by the Zastava M59/66, a licensed copy of the Soviet SKS semi- automatic carbine, in the early 1960s. This example has a very clear Yugoslavian Crest stamped on the receiver.
The overall condition is very fine. Excellent action. Bright, rifled bore. Sharp, clear markings, including the barrel crest. Excellent stock. Import marked barrel. Numbers match. The bayonet and sheath numbers match each other, but not the rifle. The accessories are all in good shape.
