I picked up a Zastava M70 (commercial 98 Mauser) that is a used import. It’s a 30-06 and in somewhat cosmetically challenged condition, although the metal is OK and mechanically it seems fine. The price was OK, but I had told myself I wasn’t buying anymore right handed rifles.
What changed my mind? Well, this gun has double set triggers which is a feature I don’t have on any other gun except my TC muzzleloader. The trigger didn’t work when I took it out of the case and there was a brief moment of anger, but it turns out the problem was old gummed up lube. A little cleaning and now it’s working fine.
I have a very scarce (in the US) left handed Zastava and I’m 99% sure the trigger will swap to it with no modifications. So you might be seeing a used Zastava with a very nice floor plate and a single trigger for sale soon
