Just picked up an M48 BO from auction. My intention was to purchase a shooter K98 "style " Mauser with a clean bore and matching bolt for a reasonable price, and this rifle listed as Yugoslavia M48 was a strong candidate. I hadn't really dug into any collectability or rarity aspects, just service condition. Turns out I got something much more interesting than a boilerplate M48. Based on the blued bolt, sight leaf and butt plate, and the cutout for a stock disk, this is an Egyptian contract M48!
