Yugoslavian made bolt-action centerfire rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser, imported by B.T.M. out of Kingston, TN. Mostly based on the K98 Mauser, the M24 also played a large role in the M48's design. The M48s without a 'M48' suffix on the receiver ring were manufactured between late 1950 and early 1952. Featuring a blued finish, turned down in-the-white bolt handle, in-the-white bolt, an approximately 24" barrel, smooth curved trigger, milled trigger guard, stripper clip guides cut into receiver, left receiver rail mounted bolt release, hooded inverted 'V' front sight, tangent 'V' notched style rear sight graduated to 2000 meters, bayonet lug, cleaning rod under barrel, and manual flag type safety. The furniture consists of a smooth semi-pistol grip hardwood stock, smooth handguard and forend, sling slot in the buttstock, milled lower band, 'H' style upper barrel band, and smooth steel in-the-white cup style butt plate. The serial numbers match on the receiver, stock, and bolt handle (serial '3093'). Receiver ring is marked with the Yugoslavian crest and 'M48.' The left receiver rail is marked with a Cyrillic lettered word and the number '44' which translates to 'Factory 44.' The pistol grip area of the stock shows a couple of cartouches, an 'SK' cartouche by the sling slot, and the serial number marked on the left side of the shoulder stock. Rifle retains approximately 94% of its blued finish with some light scratches, edge wear, and thinned finish on the magazine floorplate. Metal displays a small spot of rust and pin-prick pitting on the rear of the receiver and bolt release. The action is smooth and crisp, and the bore is bright with strong rifling. Furniture wood is in good or better condition with pretty normal handling blemishes and storage marks.
Condition is NRA Good.
