I have one nearly identical to it as far as condition and matching, although mine is the regular M-48.  Heck, I've had it a year now and haven't put a round through it...don't know if I will either. ( Safe Queen !)

Just curious...what is the importer stamp on your barrel ? ( mine is Cherry Imports.)

Rustybore has it right, in a short rifle 8mm Mauser is one of the kickingest rounds around!

Price?  I overpaid.  It was in the used section of a local Gander Mountain store in Michigan.  I fell in love, and paid north of $350, slightly.  However, it was worth it for me to have in hand, examine, etc.  The difference of a $100 between what I paid, and Gunbroker, or other places isn't that critical.

Sounds like you made a great find.  You might look through our stickies. The one marked "user testimonies... includes a piece written by a former Yugo soldier of the 70s detailing some of his experiences.  You might find that of particular interest considering your Father's service.

If that rifle is truly unissued, the bore will still be unfired.  Such weapons will usually be inconsistent until 'broken in.'  That generally takes about 200 rounds before it really begins to settle down.  You will probably want to put about 400- 500 rounds before taking it to the match.

Looking forward to the pics.  Once again, welcome.

I placed an order for a variety of 8mm ammo from ammotogo.com to see what she likes the most. Looking forward to many happy years.

I will be using this rifle in a local Frozen Chosin CMP match in late Feb and will let you know how it goes.

A bit of history, I was born in Belgrade and have lived in the us for 20+ yrs. The M48 was the rifle my father was issued when he was in the military in the late '60s, so it holds a special place for several reasons.

Will post pics tonight.
