I have watching for the right (cheap) M48BO to come along and recently won this on GB.      Branko's book suggests that the BO was built from 1956-1957. This would mean it should have a stamped floor plate and trigger housing. This rifle I bought was a milled floor plate and trigger housing. I have talked to another collector that was the same V prefix serial number BO with milled parts. Conclusion is early M48's were scrubbed to BO specs to fill early contracts. |

Nice. You can check the front ring to see if it has been scrubbed. The normal size is 1.400". Rad |
