Just acquired a sweet m48 at a random gun shop on the road - looks to be an unfired bore, 95-99% bluing intact, all numbers matching (stock has been remarked). This is my first m48 but I am fairly familiar with mausers. It has a small crack starting behind the rear sight on the upper hand guard that I am going to epoxy after cleaning off cosmoline and is missing the cleaning rod and front sight hood. Is there anywhere in Canada members would recommend getting these missing parts? Would also really like to find a well made sling to fit it. My intention is to leave this unsporterized and use it as it was originally built. Also need to find a source for stripper clips.
Any help in tracking down the missing bits would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nathan
