Some people may be getting the mistaken impression that these rifles were manufactured by Germans during the occupation. That is not the case. These rifles were manufactured with German and FN technology in Serbia after the people had driven the Germans out of Yugoslavia. This is an important distinction, because that is one of the reasons why the Model 48 is recognized as an excellent example of the Mauser 98 Karbine type military rifle. The factory in Serbia was not bombed, like the German factories during the war. The factory in Serbia had a good supply of raw materials. And the Model 48 was produced by free people, instead of forced labor.

Nice rifle but probaably worth more to you as a shooter. That is a good action and the cartridge, though hard to fine, is a good cartridge. Look's like the rifle still has the mauser safty and probably the two stage trigger. Safty could be change easily and I like the two stage trigger. Probably need the extractor fixed to go over the cartridge rim, little grinding and grind the follower in the back so the bolt slides over it when MTY. Have it drilled and tapped for a scope.

You'd have a nice rifle! Broksonic Dvcr 810 Series C Manual here. As is I'd be suprized if you got much over $200 for it if that. If that were mine I'd do the modifications and then pull the barrel and have a 6.5 barrel put on chambered for 6.5x57. Make a pretty cheap custom and give you a reason to reload if you don't already. The less it has been modified, the more it is worth to the sizeable military collectables crowd who are not interested in shooting it or converting it but rather collect N*zi paraphenalia. If it is late thirties thru WWII it is worth even more.

Hunt around for an original stock and convert it back to true original and it is worth even more. If the metal has been altered (sights removed, barrel length altered etc.) it is already screwed up, so you might as well enjoy a classic shooter. The early Mausers were THE action to judge all others by for custom rifles (esp. Der Zauberberg Thomas Mann Pdf. Bound for Africa) with their inherent accuracy, positive feed and extraction.

Do you handload? Options: Possibly re-bore to.338 - 06 or some variant where ammo is available (.35 Whelen would be sweet.).but isn't 8 mm still available (though a little tougher to find?) in factory ammo? I think the original military rifles should remain just that. They are fun to shoot and yes, hunt with as is. Some day when I grow up I'll own an M-1 Garand.

I know the military surplus 8 mm has nearly dried up as it has for my vintage 1917.303 British SMLE (with unmatching serial #s, but is worth now three to four times what I paid for it just 15 years ago). You might want to check to see just what caliber & chambering it is since a huge # of these old 98's were sporterized into 30-06 or 8mm-06 & they did not always re-stamp the barrel. It could make a fine project if you want to have a customized rifle as that action can be tweked to handle rounds up to.300 Wby so with a re-bore & re-chamber along with opening the bolt face & a little magazine work a.340 Wby could be had. There is nothing wrong with the 8x57 as far as deer & elk especially now as there are some better bullets available. Do slug the barrel as there were 2 different diameters of 8mm Mausers. I don't think it is worth too much for two reasons, 1. Ammunition is limited availability 2.
