![]() Whereas previously, the trigger guard/mag well were machined from a solid billet of steel, it was changed to an assembly fabricated from stamped parts. The most significant change and external appearance whereby the M48B may be identified is the trigger guard.

The most critical factor to understand about this model is that it continued to be stamped on the receiver ring M48 A.

The critical bolt and receiver which contain the pressure of the burning propellant within the cartridge case retained the same material requirements and design tolerances (i.e. These changes sped production while lowering cost. ![]() the M48A used sheet metal stampings for the magazine floor plate. M48A: 1952-1965- Inclusion of stamped parts. M48: 1950-1952- The initial version of the M48, with full crest and all machined steel parts.

The M24/47 stocks are mostly made of thinner Walnut or Beech wood and do not have a milled stainless steel "cupped" butt plate. Most M48 stocks are made from thicker Elm or Beech wood and have a thick stainless steel butt plate at the rear of the stock. The M24 series Mausers were built from prewar Yugoslav Model 24 Mausers and then refurbished with newer Belgian parts, and usually have straight bolts, while the M48s have curved bolts. The M48 was designed with a stock similar to the 98k, but it has a shorter intermediate-length action and receiver, as does the similar M24 series Mauser. M48s are usually distinguished from the 98k by the top handguard, which extends behind the rear sight and ends just in front of the receiver ring, although this feature exists on other models as well. Although very similar in external appearance, many of the parts of the Yugoslav and German rifles are not interchangeable, especially the bolt and related action parts. It was the standard service rifle of the Yugoslav People's Army from the early 1950s until its replacement by the Zastava M59/66, a licensed copy of the Soviet SKS semiautomatic carbine, in the early 1960s.Īfter World War II, Yugoslavia took the design of the 98k rifle series and produced its own domestic variant with minor modifications. The Zastava M48 ( Serbo-Croatian: Puška M.48 7,9 mm / Пушка M.48 7,9 mm, "Rifle M.48 7.9 mm") is a post World War II Yugoslav version of the German Karabiner 98k designed by Mauser and the Belgian designed M24 series. ![]() Rear: standard V-notch, adjustable to 2,000 meters in 100 m increments 1950–1964(as the standard Yugoslav service rifle)ĥ-round stripper clip, internal box magazine ![]()
