Which Yugo Mauser M48BO?

[Repairman]

I see that Frontier Firearms and Marstar both have Unused Yugo M48BO's for sale.
The only thing different is the price and the caliber.
Frontier Firearms are 8x57 and Marstars are 7.92x57.

so for $20 difference... and the calibers.. or are the same caliber ?

If not, which of the 2 calibers are easier/cheaper to get?

8x57 and 7.92x57 are the exact same round, just denoted differently. This is known as the 8mm mauser. Go with the cheaper one. Same gun, same condition same cartidge. A very nice rifle I must say. I'd love one of these someday.

Save yourself a few bucks further and buy mine new in grease, it's listed in the EE.

But they are under $500 at Frontier and Marstar already.

I have a Marstar M48BO, very nice shooter. Dont forget to thouroughly clean it.

The prices on Marstar's site don't seem to be competitive with what you can pick up at other gunshops. For example, they list a Gewehr 88 that has been turked for over $800 but I picked up mine, same thing (few mismatched parts) but at 1/3 the price.

Also, if they would clean out their used surplus rifle page and take off rifles that are sold, it would be nice to look at.

Yes but that's before tax. If you are an Ontario resident you'll pay even more. I may adjust the price slightly next bump though.

I don't know what Marstar's shipping policy is, but you'll end up paying another $30 from frontier.
