Collector Grade Mauser Rifle
The M48 rifle represents the peak developement of the K98
Mauser style infantry rifle. It’s superior design incorporated more re-
finements and it was constructed of superior materials, not having
been subjected to material shortages like the rifles built in Germany.
Only an accident of history has preserved this fine rifle for your en-
joyment.
Your rifle is over 50 years old. It is an heirloom and will last for
many generations with just a modicum of care. Keep it clean, keep it
oiled and keep it safe from children. In time, you can pass it on to
them.
