Yugoslavian M1948 98k Mauser Rifle 

 

The last Mauser rifle produced by Yugoslavia at the Kraqujevac arsenal is the Mod 48 Rifle, quite similar to the German 98k Carbine. The rifle is fitted with a pistol grip stock, with a typical German style short upper hand guard extending from the front of the rear sight to the lower barrel band. The lower barrel band has a side bar sling slot, with a slot through the buttstock for attachment of the sling. The front sight has a German style front sight cover, while the nose cap has an “H” style bayonet lug. The bolt handle is bent, with the stock cut for easier operation of the bolt.
