| M-48A locking lug failure! Milsurp nightmare... Found this little piece of information while looking on another site about Mausers. The title of the post is, "M-48A locking lug failure! Milsurp nightmare... " I am sure that statisically there is a low probablity of this type of failure happening frequently, nevertheless it is something that we all should be aware of. http://www.gunboards.com/forums/Ultr...24&SID=1596849[url]

| What do the letters on the front of the serial numbers mean? Are the some kind of date or manufacturers code, or do they just replace a number?I have a 48a that starts with a V and a 48 that starts with a cyrillic letter that looks like a K. On the left side of the receiver of the 48, there is some Russian writing that looks like "nPEAy3EhE44".I am guessing it commemorates a victory. The gun looks brand new and the wood is beautiful.
