An interesting Mauser sniper rifle variant that uses a Com-Bloc optic normally found on rifles like the SVD or PSL. Note how the optic is offset from the center of the bore. Although there were M48 sniper rifles used in the Kosovo War, they used primarily ZRAK optics. The rifle in the pictures is more than likely an importer (Century Arms or AIM) creation or a homemade build, since the scope mounts can be bought rather easily. By no means would I consider it a genuine war-time sniper rifle from Bosnia or Kosovo. Unfortunately the seller thinks it is and their $2,000 rifle is at best only a $600~ one. (GRH)
