just got my zastava m48. This video is perfect. You are a professional. My m48 was drilled for a scope right where the emblem was. I capped the wholes with screws. Kinda sucks but the rest of the rifle looks mint. Haven’t shot it yet. Barrel has a mirrored polish with clear rifling and I cant see pitting with a flashlight but I dont own a barrel scope. Bolt and chamber has some cosmoline on it still( very small amount)
I’v got one of these wonderful rifles which was in an excellent condition. The bolt seemed to be little unstable and loose while it is in the rifle but it shoot really nicely. I haven’t use use m48 before so i just wanted to know if this is normal or not! Thanks
Does your bolt match the receiver? I had a Spanish m1916 Mauser and all the bolts are mismatched to the receivers and they’re known for being a bit sloppy as a result. If the bolt and receiver match I’d seek a professional opinion to be on the safe side. If there’s no signs of excessive headspace it should be fine, but I’m not a professional, just an enthusiast. So take what I say with a grain of salt. Hope this helps.
@@Olewis1995 yes it does match. In fact all the serial and assembly numbers are matching. I asked a friend about this and he said it is normal to have it in m48 mauser. Anyways I’m very grateful for your opinion and advice. Thank you.
still remember my first time to disassemble the M48 bolt, it was a nightmaire...my safety stuck on the left which was the firing position and no way to flip it back...and then I de-cocked the bolt by accident...
@@benigan4232 Yes I did, you have to polish the safety a little to get it work. And to cock the bolt without the receiver, you have to find some tough edge to do that. Both have detailed instructions in youtube
Taking those barrel bands off at the end are a pain in the butt on some rifles ... on my rc 1936 k98 get a vice and wedge it off , but my dot 43 I had no trouble at all but it had late war parts ... you gonna reenact with that m48 ?
The good news is that one's only very rarely got to remove the barrel and all from the stock. Assuming that it's not coated in cosmoline or has a damaged stock, a decent K98 or M48 will be very happy with simply removing the bolt, cleaning the barrel, and cleaning and maintaining the bolt assembly as necessary. For the record, one can use woodworking clamps to assist in removing the bands and stuff. For the sight hoods, I use piston ring expanders :-)
@@gaveagringo I just take a part bolt and clean the barrel I’m not going thru all that trouble to clean it plus I baby my rifles ... all that really needs to be cleaned is the bolt and barrel ... only time I take a stock off is if I have to or when I’m cleaning a stock also I clean my stocks up when I get them a linseed oil and a light wax to seal ... sight hoods I never messed with bc I never had to take one off or put on on ... I have a early pattern k98 they don’t have sight hoods , and my late pattern has it hood.... they pain in the ass thing is shooting corrosive ammo bc you got to clean that bore good after every time
I accidentally moved the safe to the unlock position and cannot continue with the disassembly. Can someone tell me how to correct my mistake? Thank you.
@worldwarguy459 so what do I do if the bot wasn't on safe when i started disassembling it and now I can't turn anything or put it back in the receiver
Many of Mauser K98 was a ambushed by Yugoslav army. Thay have markings Preduzece 44 , clear German markings, write new Yugo and bolt modify, call it M48 and deploy again to Yugoslav partisans

I just purchased one of these rifles. Mine also was drilled in the same spot. Is it necessary to cap it?
Awesome video! Clear concise instructions , and the wind noise wasn't too bad , ;) Cheers!
great video i really want a k98 for my German impression! those clamp things are called vice grips!
This video was very helpful - thank you.
Thank you so much. My only worry is that spring flying off, but that’s what the towel/rag is for. And maybe a clamp.
The towel is used so that the clamp does not damage the stock. The spring should not fly off.
Will the spring band of a m24/47 fit on my m48? Its really hard to find the m48 spring band 😅😅😅
I’m not sure honestly. I haven’t dealt with an m24/47

@@thereal7490 no problem. Stay safe and have a good one.
Reset your capture screw on the magazine well (trigger guard). Nice bolt disassembly tutorial.
Great video, keep up the work. YHS, campdog
still remember my first time to disassemble the M48 bolt, it was a nightmaire...my safety stuck on the left which was the firing position and no way to flip it back...and then I de-cocked the bolt by accident...
Did you figure out how to fix it by chance? Same thing happened to me day after I got my turk mauser

@@icebluebear great thank you!!!
The rifle looks amazing😍

The magazine on my M48 will not come out. It’s hung up at the front and won’t let go.
Very beautiful rifle, I personally love the Balkan rifles with “graffiti”
yessss so excited for the new video
Having Extractions issues with Mine!
Thanks bro
Great video
Where should i get a quality German WWII Reproduction Tunic?
What is your budget?
Military harbour, great quality tunics with a mediocre price.
I accidentally moved the safe to the unlock position and cannot continue with the disassembly. Can someone tell me how to correct my mistake?
Thank you.
You’ll have to force it back to the safe position.
Dennis, there is a great video by a guy named "mechanic stuff" and he talks about how to fix the stuck bolt. I struggled with that problem as well.
Thank you Hawkeye
If you buy a Yugo k98 can’t you just change the stock to make it a German looking one?
What? This is an M48 as stated in the title and many times in the video. A Yugo k98 is just a German k98 that was refurbished by Yugoslavia.
@@worldwarguy459 I think he's talking about the top handguard at 3:58. Could you replace the M48 handguard for a K98 one?
@@joshuas.986 I don’t believe so because certain elements of the rifle are slightly different sizes
@worldwarguy459 so what do I do if the bot wasn't on safe when i started disassembling it and now I can't turn anything or put it back in the receiver
thanks, yours looks like a M48A, mine is M48B, heard A are better idk if true
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you sir
I hope this works for my 24/47 LoL. It should be pretty close to it
Many of Mauser K98 was a ambushed by Yugoslav army. Thay have markings Preduzece 44 , clear German markings, write new Yugo and bolt modify, call it M48 and deploy again to Yugoslav partisans
Mine says something on the side along with 44. So what exactly does that mean?
@@davidd6854 Is it in Cyrillic? Then most likely it's just Preduzece in Cyrillic script
Vice-grip pliers

first view!
This gun is used in war for croatian indepence in 90 you se croatian flag on gun stock mine father use this gun also in war for sniping
Can you do a Vietnam war impression
Who else looked this up because they need to remove cosmoline from the rifle?
Your locking clamps could use some WD40
Croatian coat of arms on your rifle
Correct

Great job explaining how to remove the bolt.. NOT.
@@michaellino793 I literally show it being removed within 1:30 of the video 😂
Great video
