Those K98/M48 are so cool. Not that the "regular M48"s are not
It is too bad that my LGS selection is too limited (I went to one of them asking if they have Mosins and SKSs once and they were like: "Mosin? Is that a rifle?" - I haven't gone there since, their bubba'd SKS make me very sad) and many pawn shops don't do firearms.
It's not a very gun friendly state I live in
But if anyone comes across an inexpensive M48 they don't want, please do let me know.
