Shooting a M48 Yugoslavian Mauser


Mauser '98 in 8x57 being fired from a field improvised rest and reloading with stripper clips. Mauser '98s are great rifles; I consider it the most reliable rifle ever designed. Yes, even more reliable than single shot designs because of its secure claw extractor and mechanical advantage (camming) during chambering and extraction. Herr Mauser was a genius.
The rifle in the background is an FAL.
