M48 Yugoslavian Mauser
The M48 Mauser is a post World War II Yugoslavian version of the German Mauser K98k. Although similar in general appearance to that of the German rifle, many of the parts of these two rifles are not interchangeable, such as the bolt. The main difference between the M48 and the K98k is that the M48 uses an intermediate-length receiver. They are usually easily identified by the top handguard which extends behind the rear sight, and ends just in front of the receiver ring although this feature exists on other models as well. M48's are regarded as a military surplus firearm and can be collected in the US at a generally cheap price due to the numbers recently imported from Europe.
