I've seen a few similar videos but this is probably the best. The others have been sped up & generally skip any explanation, leaving you to just figure it out, visually, by slowing the video down. I'd rather see something like this. I love how the tear down is similar to my Mosins, though the bolt looks like a hella lot more complex compared to Mosin's design. Overall looks like fun, lol. Gonna skip the heat gun, though. Right now it's a South Texas summer with daily temps clocking in around 100. Gonna wrap my M48A in towels and toss it in my car's trunk & let it 'bake' all afternoon. Sitting in a 125 degree trunk I'm hoping the cosmoline will be liquid enough to wash away w/ spirits when I go take it out of 'the oven', lol. How did you clean the exterior of the stock? Paper towels as well? By the by, even if you have an M48B, the differences between it & my M48A are so small I'm expecting there shouldn't be an issue. Again, awesome clip!

Good video. I have a Kar98AZ, an M48 and an M48BO. Love them all.

3:54 thank you for addressing that. Was going to drive me nuts! The surplus leather ones are affordable and there are allegedly cloth ones now.

0:59 the one thing that is a dead giveaway between a standard M48A and the rest is the front batrel band. It's stamped and welded and has a bulge underneath.

Thank you for the tip on using a heat gun - these things are just packed in cosmoline. I'm curious how you ended up cleaning the barrel: did you also use the heat gun along the barrel to soften the cosmoline and then pour hot water plus mineral spirits with a funnel in the chamber? Or did you run patches with mineral spirits through the bore? Thanks!

I like how the 16 inch gun barrels are like paper mache thin. Those turrets are turning way too fast as well. Those turrets alone are heavier than like naval destroyers

🔥🔥🔥

I sure would love to find a safety switch for mine. It broke off when I fired it last. It is in the fire position so I can use it - but it would be really nice to be able to locate one for completion sake.

Why be a smuck, if you don't like it don't watch it, why force your emotional baggage onto other people. Just shut up, Do you like it when people bully you, no !!! Unless you're a sadist . You don't have the right to tell others what they should like. I just feel sad for you, do you feel better now that you're being a bully.😢😢😢

Clean ahhh draw animation

I agree with this that guy

Opinions are like hemorrhoids, not everyone cares to hear about them, and they're always from an asshole.

Bro I know you can’t be talking this movie Is amazing😡

I have a M48. Used it at Perry last summer for a bronze medal in the Vintage match at 200 yards. Used Lapua 120gr bullets w 44gr 4064 powder.

Can i repost this video on my Tiktok ?, i will send Source then your youtube channel

I just acquired an M48, thankfully someone had already removed the cosmoline. Rifle is in pristine condition. Thanks for your video

Mineral spirits is the way .

I love ❤ but why you got to censor loading the mag

Having Extraction Issues with Mine

I'm searching now for a most pristine M48 I can shoot and keep as a PC of history. I have a very nice Tula M44 made in 1944 which I shoot weekly. Love a hard hitting bolt action rifle in a decent, short length. And since my home state of Delaware has banned all assault weapons and limited mags to 10brounds end of 2022 I can't buy AKs or ARs. I'm now limited to bolt action and the M48 in 8mm is an appealing rifle. Plus 8mm ammo is easy to acquire. May I ask you what ammo you shoot through your M48 rifle? Do you shoot corrosive ammo? Do you know of any 8mm surplus ammo that is non corrosive? I'd like to shoot ammo that is below $1 a round, as most do I assume but non corrosive.

I was born in communist Yugoslavia and the first firearm I shot was an M48. I was 18 years old. In all high schools, we learned (regardless of gender) the basics of military doctrine , how to use and what weapons are made of, and much more. The highlight of everything was going to the shooting range and shooting with the M48.

Love both my M48 and K98 but the M48 just feels "beefier" for some reason. Both kick like mules!

*the letter B… and don’t mind the Finnish M36 cap!

Nice video! The one part I don’t understand is the “safety screw” - on my M48 the smaller safety screw looks like it needs to come out completely in order to unscrew the larger screw. I think if I just line up the slot of the safety screw with the larger screw, the larger screw is still blocked from turning. I’ve seen this before on old rifles, but never understood how it works.

This is actually an M48B! The M48B is marked just the same as an M48A but utilizes a stamped trigger guard instead of a milled trigger guard (M48A). This rifle has a stamped trigger guard, thus it is a “B.”

Upon further examination, this is actually an M48B. The M48B is marked the same as an M48A. “B” is just a further designation for the largely stamped variant (identifiable by the stamped trigger guard).

Nice! Love the sound of 8mm 😎

Just the video I was looking for, great stuff man

4:58 “I’m a lube guy”😂

Man those de-tents on the cocking shroud can be a real PAIN!🤣 I've found that it doesn't matter if the mauser was made b4 WW1 or post WW2 (*caveat* it can't be a garbage rod lol) but usually they are still strong 💪! It's unreal to me how much a rifle can look used and still just preform wonderfully. I have a yugo M24/47 that looks like it's seen better days but it's still going. Still accurate👉. I take that out with me when I'm stalk hunting. Great work on the gun and now we get to see ya shoot it next?😃👍

Love it love it LOVE. IT.

Cool video! I've thought about using a heat gun. I just haven't bought one to try it. I would put all my parts in a big plastic bowl, like a popcorn bowl, and get hot water. Boiling water is preferable. But I'd soak the parts in krud cutter and a little bit of oil penatrator. All that combined is probably more than enough to get the grime off. By the time I get to it the old grease and cosmoline and what not comes off very easily with a plastic brush. For parts that have rust or bad pitting I use a brass brush and that works well with what I do, as I said above. But it is indeed like you've said, there's a 100 and then some of different ways to clean these guns. No way is necessarily better than the other (mostly... I also wouldn't use gasoline!😳😅) just as long as it works for you and your happy with the finished product 👍👍

I have a few yugos and 4 were caked in cosmoline. I would take the stocks and put them out in the hot sun. I use krud cutter, a basic grime cleaner/remover, to get the gunk off the metal parts. I used a plastic brush, Q tips and small metal ⛏ to scrape off the tougher grime. It's a method I've got pretty much down after 3 years of using various products hahaha. I can get a old mauser pulled apart, cleaned and reassembled in 3 and a half hours (this does not include Yugoslavian rifles with tons of cosmoline, those take me about a day.)

Thanks Beat Feet i learned a few tips on how i am gonna make my next video. I do like the very start of your video.. good ideas there.
