Rusan Picatinny rail - Mauser 98/48 (without holes)

• Mauser 98/48 fit: This rail is made for Mauser K98k (Bulb), Mauser M48 and Zastava M48 pattern rifles, giving a stable interface for modern optics on classic Mauser actions.
• Picatinny interface: The 14-slot rail accepts a wide range of riflescope rings and sight mounts, making optic positioning easier and allowing more flexibility for eye relief and accessory placement.
• Steel construction: A steel body adds rigidity and wear resistance, which matters on hard-used hunting or surplus rifle builds where the mounting surface must stay consistent over time.
• Low 4.00 mm profile: The modest BH height helps keep the optic close to the bore, supporting a more natural cheek weld and a cleaner overall rifle setup.
• 0 MOA inclination: The 0 MOA layout suits general-purpose sighting and standard-distance shooting, keeping the mounting geometry straightforward for conventional zeroing.

About the Rusan Series

Rusan Picatinny rails are built as model-specific mounting solutions for shooters who want to fit modern optics to traditional sporting and military-pattern rifles. Within the company’s lineup, these rails sit at the practical end of the mounting range: they are designed to provide a secure, repeatable base for riflescopes, red dot sights and other Picatinny-compatible accessories without adding unnecessary bulk. The series covers a wide variety of rifle actions, including well-known Mauser, Tikka, Sauer and Zastava platforms, with each rail shaped for the receiver it is intended to fit.

The design philosophy is straightforward: solid materials, precise fit and compatibility with the broad Picatinny standard. In use, that means easier ring selection, more freedom to position an optic correctly, and a mounting platform that can support anything from a compact hunting scope to a heavier tactical optic. Depending on the rifle model, the series includes rails with different lengths, slot counts and inclinations, so the user can match the base to the rifle’s action length and intended shooting distance. For shooters working with older bolt-action rifles, Rusan rails offer a practical bridge between classic firearms and current optics.

About the Rusan Picatinny rail - Mauser 98/48 (without holes)

The Rusan Picatinny rail - Mauser 98/48 (without holes) is a dedicated mounting base for classic Mauser-pattern rifles that need a modern optic interface without moving away from a robust steel setup. Its geometry is intended for Mauser 98/48-type actions, including compatible Zastava M48 variants, so the rail follows the receiver pattern rather than relying on a generic one-size-fits-all shape. That matters in practice because a properly matched base supports more consistent ring alignment and a more secure optic installation.

The rail uses the Picatinny standard, which broadens optic choice considerably compared with older proprietary mounting systems. A shooter can fit conventional riflescope rings, red dot mounts or other Picatinny-compatible accessories while keeping more flexibility in fore-and-aft positioning. The 14-slot layout helps when setting eye relief on scopes with different tube lengths or when balancing the placement of compact and full-size optics.

Its steel construction is well suited to rifles that may see field use, repeated recoil cycles or frequent optic changes, while the 4.00 mm height keeps the mounting platform relatively low. A lower rail can help preserve a more natural head position behind the rifle and reduce the need for excessive comb height. With 0 MOA inclination, this version is aimed at straightforward hunting and general shooting applications where a neutral mounting angle is the sensible choice.

About Rusan

Rusan grew out of the Rusan family’s metalworking business, which dates to 1983. The company, Rusan-Mikron, is based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, and has built its name around precision-made mounting components and firearm accessories. Its core range includes scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails and firearm tuning products, with a strong emphasis on parts that must fit correctly and hold alignment in real use.

The company also became well known for adapter solutions for clip-on sights, night-vision devices and thermal-imaging equipment, including a clip-on sight adapter clamp introduced in 2009. That background is relevant here because it reflects the same focus on machining accuracy and practical compatibility that defines Rusan’s rail systems. In addition to optic adapters, the brand produces rifle-specific rails for platforms such as Tikka T3, Sauer 202 and Zastava M70, showing its long-standing specialization in mounting solutions.
