Matching numbers, stock included, are the selling point of this M48 A. The seller says every part matches. The rifle is a bolt action chambered in 8mm Mauser, with a 24 inch barrel and a five round capacity.

The M48 A is a Yugoslav military rifle from the 1950s, derived from the Mauser 98k used by Germany in World War II. It shares the same design with some modifications. It was primarily issued to the Yugoslavian army.

Matching numbers are not common on rifles that have been rebuilt, so the claim is worth checking in the photos. Look at the bore and the stock. A good choice for a collector.

Because this is a pre-owned rifle, it is sold as described. Compare the photos with the notes, ask if anything is unclear, and then have it sent to your local FFL dealer, who completes the paperwork and background check. Give the photos a slow look at full size; they show finish and wear better than any paragraph can. Buy it for the job you have in mind, and keep a cleaning kit and a few boxes of ammunition ready for the first outing.
