Help with Yugo M48A (B) Mauser Rifle Appraisal!

[mahbann]

I have a buddy of mine that wants to sell me his M48A (B) Mauser rifle. It could be a "B" but I haven't gotten the chance to look at the trigger guard to see if it's stamped. He wants 300 for what I am assuming is a M48A but possibly could be a "B". The rifle is pretty much unissued however and comes with a sling and a bayonet (once he finds it). The rifle has barely been fired and I know for a fact that the bore is immaculate. These are the only pics I have of the rifle that he sent me.


1. Do you guys think 300 is fair for either a M48A? or M48B?

2. If it turns out to be a "B" does that mean it should necessarily be cheaper?

3. Are the M48A/B's good rifles? or should I just wait for a real M48 to come along?

4. Is the M48B necessarily worse then having a M48A?

5. anyone know why it says MMC H.B. CA 17649 is on the barrel? does that mean the barrel isnt matching the bolt or receiver?
