Russian capture '98 Mausers

[Gil Martin]

The Yugoslav reworked '98 Mausers are usually well done and often have several numbers, but tend to be in better condition. I managed to get a few and really like them. The Yugoslav Models 48, 48A and 24/47 are very nice. I have a few of each and like them, too. However, they are '98 Mauser clones, not true '98s and the various parts generally will not interchange. I agree they are often found in excellent condition with matching numbers. If you want a very nice rifle at a decent price, get one of these Yugoslav rifles. All the best...
