Cutdown Bosnian M48 from Century

[REDSTAR]

Neat rifle, stock and finish are beautiful. A Carbine M48. I like....Only problem is the bore is totally rusted out. Shreds patches. Bad bad bad bore. I'll have to send it back I'm afraid.
I'm impressed with the outer appearance though this would make a neat brush gun, short and handy so I'm going to try one more time for a decent barrel. They put a ill fitting butt pad on the stock though which will have to go if I can find the regular butt plate for it. Other than that if they give me one with a good barrel I'll be quite happy. I'll report in a few weeks.

I think I will stay away from those!

did you get the k98 yet?

[REDSTAR]

Nope. I called yesterday and they haven't shipped it yet for some reason. I ordered 1000 rounds of ammo with it too so that may be holding it up. It'll probably show up pretty soon now that I called about it.

I'll have to think about replacing this M48. I really like the way it looks and feels, but I don't want to go through this routine twice.

To Century's credit, they have a huge volume and this is the first lemon out of many rifles I've ordered from them. I know Shuetz has had bad luck but this is a first for me.

Maybe you should get ED4 to order it for you.... :D
BTW where the hell is ED4...haven't seen his posts in a while.....

Well, I got her boxed up and ready to return today. I'm going to try for another. This is really a neat rifle. I asked them to get me a good bore this time, hope they do. The stock is so nice on this it's a real shame to have to send it back!
