The ones I've seen are like new, but quite pricey at $250 or more. I think you could shop around and beat the price by about 50%. The Yugo M48 and M48A are somewhat different than a German K98k. I think but few parts will inter change with the German and Czech 98's. But you can get a Yugo rebuilt German K98k which is essentialy identical to and in fact is a German K98k. I have a Yugo rebuilt BNZ43(Styer) that has more German eagles on it than you can shake a stick at. I like shooting my Yugonized K98k, and 8mm ammo is dirt cheap and plentiful. I have seen very nice M48's sell for $125 or less. I also have a Czech Brno 98/22 8mm a very nice shooter for little money. I think I paid $90 for my K98k several years ago, and I think they sell for around $150 or a little less maybe now. The Yugo M48 series are fine rifles, and everyone I know that owns one likes it. I,ve heard good and bad reports on the Russian captured German K98k's recently imported, and the price seems high.
