Bought one today for $110 out the door. A yugo M48 with matching bolt , stock, floorplate, and reciever. It has alot of original bluing and russian writing followed by a 44 on the side of the reciever. Bore is real dirty with strong rifling. I'll be busy on it for awhile. | ||

The russian writing on the side of the reciever.I've seen alot of these M48's that say "Preduzece 44" on the side of the reciever. Mine has russian writing with 44. | |||

 This is what I'm wondering about.Was it made in Russia? | |||

Quote:No. That's Serbian writing. They use a variant of the Cyrillic alphabet. Not quite the same as the Russian. We transliterate it as "Preduzece 44," which roughly translates to "Factory 44." | |||

That "Russian Writing" spells "Preduzece 44" in the Cyrillic alphabet! | ||

Thanks for the info...the rifle cleaned up real nice and as soon as I round up some ammo it's off to the shooting place for some fun. | |||
