Muleskinner's Review of Yugoslavian M-48 Mauser
10th May 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Handling
- Accuracy
Very strong and well built, accurate as far as the eye can see without a scope, price is not bad for a good military surplus weapon.
Bad Points
Cleaning can be a pain in the a**, the ammo is corrosive and extra care and maintenance must be taken to keep it in prime condition.
General Comments
The Yugo Mauser M48 is a fine addition to any marksmen's collection. Although there are several types of ammo available I find the "198gr SWAT" round to work best for me. At 100yds with iron sights I shot 2 1/2" groupings, at 250yds,(limits of my eye sight) I shot 4 3/4" groups. Being former military may have helped my marksmanship, but I believe anyone who knows their way around a rifle could do the same. I've heard others speak of the bolt being "sticky" but that does not seem to be the case with mine; in fact my best drill time was 4.58 seconds, thats loading, aiming, firing all 5 shots and reloading. Again, I don't expect everyone to accomplish my stats; but the mauser m48 is a fine and well made rifle.
