The factory in Serbia was not bombed, like the German factories during the war. This is an important distinction, because that is one of the reasons why the Model 48 is recognized as an excellent example of the Mauser 98 Karbine type military rifle. These rifles were manufactured with German and FN technology in Serbia after the people had driven the Germans out of Yugoslavia. Some people may be getting the mistaken impression that these rifles were manufactured by Germans during the occupation. This Mauser is ideal for collecting, target shooting, hunting, or customizing. Preserved by an accident of history, supply is limited. Original accessories as issued at the time are sold separately, while supplies last. Original Factory matching serial numbers on all rifle parts.
