I just got home from purchasing a German Mauser M48. EDIT: its a yugo mauser. about $80 online in used condition. whats the difference in this and the K98? What do you guys think of the deal that I got? I got the 48 For $150. Never fired. Perfect Cond. And for another $50 I got 500 Rounds of 8mm ammo milsurp on stripper clips. So for $200 I got an unfired m48 and 500 rounds. I think I made out pretty good! And another question! Is there a way to mount a scope on this beast or is it pointless? thanks. |

Check every last round before firing. I bought an assload of surplus ammo for mine, and quite a few rounds had cracked case mouths, case heads, etc. I wouldn't scope it, myself...it sorta ruins the experience. IIRC, there is no real difference between an M48 and a 98K, other than where & when it was made. |

The M48 is similar to the K98 but not the same. Parts such as the bolt and the stock will not interchange. Dennis Jenkins

I wish I could find 500 rounds of 8mm in my neck of the woods. My local shop has it for $20 for 70 round bandoleers with stripper clips. I also want to scout scope mine. I bought a mount but it needs modification to mount to the rear sight. I have not gotten around to filing it down to fit. I love shooting my Turk, it helps that its the cheapest thing I own to shoot. |
