Notes from Dr. Borkosky

Description: Model 98 Mauser, 8mm caliber, military contract rifle, left side of breech marked “PREDUZECE 44” and shows the mideastern crest on breech, The Torch and star belong with the post WWII communist Yugoslavia crest serial number J137XX is also Marked on Stock The number stamped in the stock is the Yugo rework serial number . The multiple numbers on various parts are only "assembly numbers". What a hoot to shoot! Most Russian captures are know for a quick hot blue over pitting, crappy part fittings, lack of capture screws, red shellac stocks, markings gruesomely peened out by hammer, and far worse horrors. Bolt is different Serial Number These World War II military rifles were refurbished and sold to Third World governments in the 1950’s and 60’s by arms dealers and Eastern Block arsenals. The condition is Fair Good action,Good bore, Shows import marks With a side rail marking of only "MOD.98" the rifle was reworked at Kragujevac in the Former Yugoslavia between 1950-'52. The serial numbers were primarily to ensure well fit and matched parts stayed with their rifle during cleaning and repairs. Which was one of the main factories in Yugoslavia for supplying the military’s small arm needs. Most of these rifles were produced at Preduzece 44. Unfortunately there really isn’t anyway to date when the Yugo refurbishment took on specific rifles. Curios and Relics. Such emails will be ignored. First I’d like to clarify what exactly a Yugo K98k is, it a German manufactured K98k that the postwar communist Yugoslavian government/military got its hands on one way or another. Most rifles have their factory marking on the left side of the receiver, directly opposite to the receiver serial number.

Preduzece 44 k98 information. Other markings in place of Preduzece, sometimes found, are TRZ-5 or RZ-5. . The Yugoslavians drastically differ, many Yugo K98k’s have domestically produced and elm stocks (YES IT’S ELM)(Some do retain their German stocks but they are in original finish and not ruined), as well as their markings being properly ground off and all pits and rust removed before bluing, a new and more communist crest being added where the German factory code used to be, and ensuring all rifles are complete and parts fit and move smoothly. This Firearm is over 50 years old and can be shipped to a C&R Dealer as well as A 01 FFL dealer I am registered with CA DOJ and verified to ship to California . My question is, can anybody give any sort of detail on these serial numbers? Lots of waffen stamps still visible.

Please also check with your FFL before Purchasing to make sure they can transfer the firearm to you. Though many people do not actually know why they picked up these foreign military rifles when they still had hordes of M24’s.

They also began adding ” /48″ right after the 98. The assembly numbers allowed the correct individual parts for each rifle to be tracked and gathered, for final assembly.
