I have one. It was brand spankin' new when I got it and came with all accessories.
Yeah, I spent a few hours cleaning it. I swear they dipped the whole rifle in cosmoline.
It shoots great, the action is a little stiff. I guess it needs some use to loosen it up!
My only "complaint" about the rifle is the cosmoline-soaked stock.
I've left the stock out on the deck in the Texas heat for several consecutive afternoons and it continues to sweat
cosmoline.
Compared to the somewhat more svelte and collectible K98's the M48 is a bargain.
I shot a lot of that really crappy, dirt cheap Turkish 8mm that was going around a few years ago.
