A couple of years ago I got a M48 in still brand new condition in 7.62x51 Nato caliber. Accept for the caliber stamp on the righthand side of the receiver and the serial number on the on the left hand side there is no othermarkings on it.
The bolt handel is turned down and the action is fitted with swing off mounts for a telescope. As I had no way of aquiring the propper scope rings I replaced it with another scope mount drilled to fit on the original positions and fitted a 4x42 scope.
The accuracy of this rifle is acceptional it shoots 11mm groups at 200 m. I've got the idea that this rifle was produced as a sniper rifle.
When I got the rifle the stock wood, (possibly birch) was grey and very dry, but after some almond oil treatment it turned into a light honey colour.

Hello, I bought a Yugo m48, and based on what ive read here...my m48 is a all matching BO model. completely scrubbed of markings....the only difference is that the number on the barrel close to the receiver and the number on the bottom side of the bolt are only 2 digits, not three or four. but they both match on my rifle.

when i bought it it came with the rifle, cleaning kit, and bayonet with frog and scabbard. It is a beautiful rifle and I the first time i took it out shooting it was glorious.
