The M48 is an intermediate length Mauser action, based on the FN M1924, with a similar overall configuration to the K98k.

In the 1920s, Yugoslavia (then known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) purchased a number of M24 intermediate Mausers in 8mm Mauser from FN. The M48s were produced on existing Yugoslavian rifle machinery, which was already set up to produce similar intermediate Mausers.
