Anyone have such a creature?

Also, based on the fact that there are gazillions of these things in country right now, will I really be hurting the value of mine if I get it re-blued?

This may not be what you are looking for, but you can download the manual here:
Mitchell's Mauser Manual (http://www.mitchellsales.com/PDF%20Documents/M48%20Manual.pdf)

Looks like the exact same manual they sent me with my rifle ;)

Looking for something a bit more detailed instead of just the general breakdown for cleaning stuff.

Jen,
Take a run over to www.gunboards.com (http://www.gunboards.com) and go to the Mauser forum. There are, buried somewhere, links to bolt disassembly as well as general takedown information that is common to all Mausers.
Sorry that I don't have a specific link but I am late for court and don't have a chance to go over and look myself.
You will not hurt the value, in my opinion, if you reblue it. One of mine is in serious need of either a reblue or maybe a park job.

I guess the M48 is similar to the K98k, according to what I found. The M48 is a Yugo variant of the German 98k?

Here's a color diagram of the 98k, if that'll do you any good. It's a pretty nice pic.

And here's the website.

There's also a Disassembly link, with a line drawing and parts list, and detailed instructions. Also a German-English lexicon.

Whether that site is specifically what you want or not, it looks like a useful C&R link.

Jen,

Buy yourself "The Mauser Bolt Actions, M91 through M98" manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen. It will show you everything you could ever want to know about Mausers.
I recommend any of his manuals. They are all top quality and VERY complete.
