MAUSER M48 A 8MM
Description: Guns Listing ID: 485651 This rifle has all matching numbers, including stock. The Mauser M48 A is a bolt-action, military rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm). It was produced in the 1950s and primarily issued to the Yugoslavian army. The M48 A is a derivative of the earlier Mauser 98k, which was widely used during World War II by Germany, and the M48 A shares much of the same design, though with some modifications. Here are some key features of the Mauser M48 A: Caliber: 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm) – a powerful cartridge known for its long-range performance and stopping power. Barrel Length: Typically 23.6 inches (600mm), providing a good balance between accuracy and maneuverability. Overall Length: Around 43 inches (1090mm), making it a full-length rifle, though still relatively easy to handle for its size. Action: Bolt-action, which is known for its reliability, durability, and precision. This design requires the shooter to manually cycle the bolt after each shot. Stock: The M48 A typically came with a hardwood stock, often beech, which was either blued or painted in a dark, military-style finish. It had a simple and functional design with a full-length wooden stock, which helped with recoil management and gave it a solid, sturdy feel. Iron Sights: The M48 A is usually equipped with standard military-style iron sights, including a rear tangent sight that can be adjusted for different distances. Weight: Weighs about 8 pounds (3.6 kg), which is typical for bolt-action rifles of its era, providing a stable platform for shooting. Magazine: The rifle has a 5-round internal magazine, and it can be loaded via stripper clips, a common feature in military rifles at the time. While the Mauser M48 A was originally designed for military use, many surplus models have been sold to civilians over the years and are popular among collectors and enthusiasts for their historical significance and solid build quality. It‚‚s a very reliable rifle, known for its accuracy and smooth bolt action, making it enjoyable to shoot at the range or in hunting scenarios. The Mauser M48 A holds a special place as both a link to the past—carrying forward the legendary Mauser 98k design—and as a product of the Cold War era. It was a reliable, well-built military rifle that saw action in the years following World War II and served as a symbol of Yugoslavia‚‚s military independence. Today, it remains a popular piece among collectors, not just for its solid performance, but for its deep historical ties to the tumultuous mid-20th centur Price: $1,350.99 Manufacturer: MAUSER Model: M48 A Condition: Used - Non-Certified Barrels: 24 Gauge: 8MM Contact Seller |
