So I still have this 50-round MG belt of 8mm cartridges (Made in Egypt, go figure.) for my brother’s rifle, which he sold about the time I got the ammo. And there was this Yugo M48 in the pawn shop, in very nice shape.
So I bought it. And have a question.
The butt-plate is smooth polished metal. No finish at all, not even a trace. No knurling, waffle-tread, no kind of traction surface whatsoever. Is this the normal butt-plate? I assume it is just normal steel and not stainless, so what would you suggest as an added-by-Bart finish? (I seem to think I have a can of black Rust-Oleom paint somewhere…..)

Who wonders if a 1903A3 was really his "first Mauser".
