Based in design on the German 98k Mauser and the Yugoslavian Model FN 30 and 24 Carbines and Rifles. "The last Mauser Rifle (not made from parts or a rebuilt) produced by Yugoslavia at the famed Kragujevac arsenal, the Model 1948 98k Short Rifle or otherwise called the Yugoslavian M48. Made on German Tooling set up in formerly occupied Serbia. " A “NEW” Mauser, and it’s over 50 years old! A genuine Mauser 98K, the Model M48 is the Strongest and Best of the original bolt-action Rifles. Little tip but the "48" gives it away but the folks at Mitchell's are blatently fibbing. However, if you appreciate history and value a firearm for its collector appeal, then stay away from Mitchell's Mausers. If you know for a fact what you are getting when you order from them, which is a scrubbed, cleaned, and refinished M48, then by all means get it. They are also marked up significantly, and have zero collector value. As others have said, Mitchell's uses misleading, if not outright fraudulent advertising to sell their rifles.
