The M48 Mauser is a Yugoslavian military surplus rifle. They were built from 1950 to 1965 and most M48s were put into government storage shortly after they were manufactured.

These rifles are shipped coated in the protective grease "cosmoline" which needs to be cleaned out before the rifle is fired.

These rifles are not new, they are military surplus. They do not include an owner's manual nor a warrantee card. The manufacturer, the government of Yugoslavia, disintegrated in a series of wars starting in 1991. These rifles are sold "As is."

To remove cosmoline grease from a military surplus rifle we suggest an aerosol solvent such as Gun Scrubber or bake cleaner and a CLP such as Break Free or G96, and a good bit of "elbow grease"

5.0 Rating M48 now an 'Okie' - 7/13/2012PW Arms Yugo M48 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle, 8mm Mauser, 23.25" Barrel, 5 Rounds, Hardwood Stock5.0000
Reviewer: Calfrope
Very pleased with this rifle overall. Bolt doesn't match, but I don't care. The gun will be a shooter. After a brush and some patches thru the bore, it looks brand new! Crisp lands and bright, shiny bore. The rifle is in all around excellent condition. I received the gun two days ago and haven't shot it yet, but I have no doubt it will perform well. It takes some work to get all the cosmoline removed, but it helps you get more familiar with your new gun. This is a very well made rifle and shows only slight wear marks. With plenty of life remaining, this will make an excellent deer gun! A great price for a very high quality firearm. Buy one. You won't be disappointed.

Reviewer: Jordan
I ordered on a Saturday, my FFL had it on the next Thursday. My rifle was definitely issued and came with a used sling, but in satisfactory condition with all matching parts. Overall, everything was operational except for the cleaning rod which was bent. Mine was a M48 all milled (not an A or B) with probably 80-90% bluing. The exposed parts were worn down to the white along edges but most of the barrel showed deep bluing. The bolt and butt plate had minor surface rust and pitting, but a good polishing would take care of that. It came in very heavy cosmoline. I have not had the chance to shoot it yet because I am still in the process of sweating out the walnut stock, but I can see that its rifling comes all of the way to the end of the barrel with a good crown. The inside of the barrel could be better. It has minor pitting but is still shiny. In summary, mine is probably an original production run M48 in issued condition, but considering the fact that these guns have been imported for over 10 years now, you never know what you will get, since I assume most of the really good unissued stuff has been picked over by now.
4.0 Rating Good rifle - 6/19/2012PW Arms Yugo M48 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle, 8mm Mauser, 23.25" Barrel, 5 Rounds, Hardwood Stock4.0000
Reviewer: J A F
Upon receiving the rifle, I found that the cosmoline was easy to clean up. The stock had been restained. Since I like the old government rifles, I sanded it down so that it would be smooth and a bit more original. None of the numbers on the gun match, but are all factory rebuilt. Sanded down and reoiled the stock and oiled the action to make it smoother. When I first used the action, it was really, really stiff. After some work, it was smooth. Today, first time on the range - exceptional firing, speed, and low recoil, using Remington 8mm Mauser 170 gr. soft points. Fairly accurate at 50-75 yards. Not tested at the 100/200 yard range. It's great! Would definitely buy more.

Reviewer: David
Overall, the condition of the rifle was good. Bolt did not match, but that is not a big deal. While cleaning, I encountered more than just cosmoline. There was some rust in spots and on some parts throughout the rifle. My big complaint is a cracked stock in two places. I think it is repairable. Not a bad rifle for the money, but had hoped for a little better condition. It is a turkey shoot.

For the money, it's hard to beat. Took some time to clean it, and it came out nice. Shoots nice and smooth. Very accurate.
