The guns were converted using new and old parts and were stocked in new and used wood identical to pre-war Model 1924 rifle stocks. Beginning in 1947, many of the old rifles and barelled actions on-hand were upgraded and rebuilt into serviceable arms to further bolster the military and satisfy their need for equipment. These rifles provided the Yugoslavian armed forces with the backbone of their equipment until a longer-term solution could be found. Re-armament began by refurbishing the German K98k rifles on-hand at the time of the German surrender. After the war's conclusion, Yugoslavia had effectively no remaining capacity to build complete rifles and the technology to do so would have to be re-developped and relearned by its craftsmen. Note: Pics of rifle provided courtesy of moderator Claven2.ĭuring the second world war, Germany had absorbed the Yugoslavian government's inventory of Mauser rifles into its military and had stripped the Military Technical Institute, Kragujevac (fore-runner to the Zastava factory complex) of most useable machines for use elsewhere in the Reich's armaments industry. The M48 borrowed on pre-war M1924 and wartime K98k features and combined both in the finished product. Based on prototyping begun in 1948, in 1950 the Model 48 Mauser was finalized and adopted for service. View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Advanced Member Join Date May 2005.

Since we know that they starting to produce them in 1948, the next trick would be to figure out their serial number code. To find an actual date of manufacture, will take a bit of research. As the model designation applies, it was adopted and produced starting in 1948. The M48 Yugo mauser was produced well after WW II.

No visible import marks, so this appears to have been imported before 1968. has left-side sling swivels typical of Chilean rifles issued to infantry and artillery. Action is smooth and the bore is quite nice with distinct rifling. I had both the wood and metal refinished at great expense. The serial number was re-applied to the wood. The freshly-refinished wood shows a lot of character.
