Yugoslavia M48a Mauser Bolt Action Rifle 8 mm Mauser - Post WW2

The Yugoslavian M48A Mauser is a rugged, highly accurate bolt action rifle chambered in 8x57mm
IS (8mm Mauser).
Manufactured at the Zastava plant (Factory 44) starting in 1952, it utilizes a shortened intermediate
action and incorporates stamped metal parts to reduce production costs over the original, all-milled
M48.
Commonly called a Yugo M48 or Yugo Mauser, the Yugoslavia-made M48 is a carbine-sized Mauser
Gewehr 98 pattern rifle. The M48 Mauser is a post World War II Yugoslavian version of the Belgian
Fabrique Nationale designed Mauser Model 1924 short rifle which was produced under contract by
the Kingdom of Yugoslavia beginning in 1928 and ending with the Nazi occupation in 1941.
After World War II, the Yugoslavs took this design and incorporated modifications based upon
Germany's Mauser Karabiner 98k.
