You mean the Yugo M48's?
They're still Mausers! Maybe not as "cool" as an original German K98k, but just as good for shooting.

I've heard all the stories about Mitchell's "K98"s being made in Serbia - and therefore NOT "German" per se AND being humped. Even if true, their K98s are identical to the originals. Besides, the Germans had their K98s made in a lot of locations outside Germany in WW2, so that doesn't bother me. Mine looks, feels, and shoots exactly like any other German K98 Sniper - so to me, it's just as cool. If I'd wanted an original, I would've bought a cheap RC and built it into a sniper. The price tag of $3000+> for an "original" K98 sniper is way out of my price range. This one was already built, and in like new condition, so I couldn't ask for more. It is a fun shooting rifle and is fitted with a somewhat high turrent Zeiss scope. Pretty accurate at 100 yards from the bench. I can consistantly hit 1"-2" groups with it now. Perfect for Caribou hunting. |

I actually got mine for reenacting. It was German WW2 manufacture but re-arsenalled after the war by the Yugos for use in their army, but it was never never issued to another soldier after it was taken from the German soldier who surrendered it, as the bluing is 100% on it. The German maker stamp was ground off smoothly, but there are Waffenampts all over the damed thing betraying its origins.

That's pretty cool. My grandpa has a .311 Japanese rifle he picked up in WW2.... got it brand new out of a supply truck... hasn't been shot to this day! Still has the original packing grease they put on them to prevent the barrels from rusting . |

Nice. Look and see if it's set up as a sniper and if it still has the cristanthanum (sp?) flower stamping on the top of the receiver. Slim chance its set up as a sniper, but if it is it's worth some buuuuuucks !!!

he's 2 hours away.... I'll try to think next time I'm there. All the writing on it is in Japanese... I don't speak it . Its a bolt action and has flip up adjustable sights with different distances on it. |

If it's early WW2 it will be worth more. Look for a buttplate, bipod type device on the front, and if there are any obvious mounts for a scope.

The other two have repro stocks and one has been modified to have a blank fire adapter. He used to have a 100% original full auto MP44 but that's another discussion, lol.

So eventually ( maybe next year or so ) I'm thinkin of picking up a glock 19 for a concealed carry gun, as well as the cheaper 9 mm rounds ( compared to the .45 for my 1911 ). I've read the G19 is a very reliable gun and good for concealed carry, what does it usually sell for? How much does a typical box of 50 rounds go for in 9mm? Was thinking about a 22 for a cheap plinker, but have worries about the reliability there...
