I was in at a store looking at another Mauser and I saw this one but passed it up at first, I had gone back and passed on the original and took a closer look at this one. its all matching , mint with no import marked. came with a bayonet, ammo pouch, sling.

that looks pretty nice

very nice! love the grain of those stocks

I've got one too about in that condition but the bolt doesn't match.
Just picked up a 24/47 about a week ago

I have developed a sort of Mauser addiction.

They've gone up in price so much in just the last couple years

Nice looker.

If you find a M48A marked rifle that has both a stamped floor plate and trigger guard it is actually a M48B.

I am looking for the M48B.

I picked up one of those about 15 years ago. It looks to have an elm stock with a large patch, extremely well fitted in one side of forearm. Interesting thing is serial number is one less than 10,000

I've always thought it odd to see elm used for a stock, but it seems to work well enough. I've got an M.95 or 2 with elm stocks. SW

gotta use what is at hand i guess - there was a day many reas ago when the elms of america were dying that the abundance of great wood might have spoken well to its use , but then it was never considered a great opyion even in those days of abundance ,

we lost in my family homestead two or three american elms with a three foot diameter++ which would have made a number of great stocks ,
