They had Zastava in Serbia do the refurb for their faked matching K98ksДЄnyone who owns a Mitchell's has been taken and anyone who thinks their is value to a Mitchell is a fool. The fact their German (so-called) K98ks have a bolt in the white is absurd. The received new Yugo barrels and like the 24/47s were stored as reserves so are often excellent shootersДЄnything that has Mitchell's name on it is BS, fake, forgery in some way or hyped as something more than they are The 98/48 are former German K98k Mauser that have been scrubbed of their German markings and have the commi crest and were rebuilt in the 1948 refurb program hence the 98/48. The M24, 24/47 and M48 bolt is 1/2' shorter than the standard 98 Mauser bolt and are not interchangeable but they do use the same extractor They received new barrels and were test fired cleaned and put in storage. The 24/47s are M24 prewar Yugos that were refurbished in the 1947 program (hence 24/47). The better shooting Yugo Mauser are usually the 24/47 ad 98/48 models Some M48 Yugos are in great shape but many have seen hard use. They are a true pig with lipstick and anyone believing they are genuine will likely be buying Visa gift cards to pay off the IRS agents from Lagos over the phone They grind off the numbers and WaA proofs, stamp the number of the receiver/barrel/stock on a few parts re-blue everything sand down the wood and call it a collectible MM takes Russian captured K98ks that are mismatched to the last screw. The M48 and just cleaned up version at 2-3 times what a non MM would sell for
