Make: Zastava, Yugoslavia

There is no visible import mark. The top of the receiver is marked with the Yugoslavian crest and “M48”. The right side of the receiver is marked with the serial number. The left side of the receiver is marked with Cyrillic lettering and "44", for Preduzece 44, which translates to “Factory 44" (aka Zastava factory). The top of the bolt handle are marked with the serial number. The bottom of the bolt handle is marked with a production number. Many of the metal parts are marked with small Yugoslavian stampings.
The front sight is an inverted “V” post set atop a ramped base and under a protective hood. The rear sight is a “V” notched sliding escalator marked from “2-20”.
The rifle looks very good and has matching part numbers on the receiver, bolt handle and stock (A63385). Around 200 rounds with the .308Win barrel (brand new), original barrel (8mm) has great rifling. It comes with original sling.
It will add to your collection and should do well at the range (very good shooter).
C&R eligible.
