These are Yugaslavian made reproductions of the 98k. they are nice rifles but have an intermediate length action which means that many aftermarket mauser stocks will not fit. They are commonly sold from $109.00 to $160.00 at Cole's distributing, AIM surplus, gunbroker, auction arms, Century arms, etc.....
the Mitchells price is a rip off really... I have one and it shoots good and was in unissued condition for $159.00 |

they are good rifles. I have seen several at the range and most shoot as well as my german 98k after breakin. I do think mitchells price is about 60.00 to high for those rifles. Here in town i can find original german 98k's with accesories for 190.00 with all matching numbers. the yugo 98k's are going for around 120-160.
Either way you go thay are GREAT rifles for the money and 8mm is cheap as heck to shoot. mike |

I appreciate the advice. It's going to be my first C&R purchase so maybe I'll look around a little more first.

Mitchells prices are really full retail pricing. Order from Empire arms, Century, Aim Surplus...

I would avoid that place. They charge premium prices and a lot of guys who ordered them said it tooks weeks for the rifle to arrive and that the quality was no better than guns offered at Big 5 Sporting Goods for $170.
I bought two M48s from Wholesale Guns & Ammo for something like $160 each and they were in pristine condition and came will all the accessories. Empire has unissued M48As (stamped floorplate, etc.) for $250 and I heard they are in unissued condition as well. |

For potential collectibility, make damn sure all part numbers match, and nothing has been ground off.
