About to Get a Nazi Era Mauser

Thank you for the detailed information and the correction. Clearly the general histories I had read were in error in this particular.

I stand (sit, actually) corrected.
:o
 
I have to go with emcon on this issue. The Yugo M48's were postwar, had bolts non-interchangeable with the K98, did not have the steel-lined stock hole for bolt disassembly, and the rear sight had upper handguard wood fore and aft, as distinct from the K98. The photo of his rifles is of a K98.
 


I found this Yugo M98/48 on gun broker for $250. I was astonished when it showed up looking like a brand new kar 98k. The only detraction is that the previous owner drilled it for a receiver sight and cut out a little piece of the stock to fit it, visible just in front of the bolt handle.
I don't think there is a single waffenamt . The bore is like new. Siderail is stamped M98.
