soylentgreen,
I can't get on Aim's site either, must be down anyway, get a copy of shotgun news, and look in there, or go to www.gunboards.com and get on the mauser forum, and ask for Coles url, and who has the best deal on m-48's, they'll be happy to help you out,as far as the accessories that come with the m-48's go,I've had 2 in the past year and half, the first m-48 I had (which I later sold) rifle looked like it was made yesterday, the accessories looked like they were drug through W.W.2!(pretty much junk) the next one I bought, stock showed some wear, but the accessories were MUCH better, (bayo,Leather ammo boxes, looks like new)the accessories are pretty much a dice throw,usually, most places throw in the accessories with the rifle, but don't hold your breath that they will be that nice,most have been used, some, WELL used, Me, I don't really care about the accessories that much,and really, they're not worth that much,Also check out Samco Global Arms,www.samcoglobal.com I bought a Persian contract rifle (made by CZ,in 1930) for $250.00 about 2years ago, it came with a MATCHING bayo, that looks like it was never used, the rifle is about the same, (Bore looks like a mirror,) has about 95% of the blue on it and a couple of minor dings in the stock, but Well worth the money spent.
