M48A Mauser help

[Dmagdusty]

I have an unissued m48a mauser that my stepdad got for me and its the only gun I have ever been given. A cousin took this gun apart at my grandmothers house and lost the bolt assembly. I looked everywhere with no luck. This gun means something to me and I want to replace the bolt, but the only prices that I have found are 175 bucks. Can anybody point me in the right direction and give me some places that I may get in contact with so I dont have to sell a kidney to replace it.

Numrich gun parts, Midway, brownells, sarco inc, pick up a shotgun news. Allot of surplus parts sellers advertise in it.

You can't do anything about your genetics! Good luck on your search. These guys will point you in the right direction.

I'd check this site periodically.

You just have to be patient and keep watching the sites. You may also call because sometimes they may have one and it not be listed.

This is a cool site too. I had a VZ24 8mm...I miss that rifle.

They pop up on Gunbroker pretty regularly. Just remember that the M48 takes a shorter bolt than a standard 98 Mauser so you need one specific to the Yugo M48 or 24/47. I am also needing one for a Sporter M48 I am building so I keep a lookout for them on Gunbroker all the time. Really nice one sold for less than 80.00 about a month ago so you shouldnt have to pay 175.00 for one. That was a shame original bolt was lost as now it wont have matching numbers. I would keep looking as if it was trult an unissued gun it would be nice to have the correct numbered bolt.
