turkish mauser rifle

mm_christ · 05-18-2006, 08:01 PM

i've got two other mausers ( hence my name multiple mausres) anyway, this Turk mauser I've got isn't like those 28in. barreled rifles, it's actually about half an in. longer than my k98. but I have no clue what model this particluar mauser is. though it was built in Ankara turkey in 1945, but that all I know and I wish I had a scanner to show this gun too. so..... any idea to everyone out there?

Is it straight bolt or Bent bolt ? Turkey had 4 models of Mausers! ! If the bolt handle is straight, the stock doesnt go all the way to the end of the barrel, It is probably a model 1903. Germany supplied most of the rifles to Turkey, but after WW1 the Turks did purchase a large number of Czech Model 1924 Mausers! Could be that Too! Without Pictures it is hard to guess on the Internet!

Sounds like a German 98 action to me!

I Just bought an ankara turkish mauser! Made in 1935, it has a kind of a heavy barrel, and it has a straight bolt not bent, and has the long magazine well, where it it extends down past the stock, and acts as part of the trigger gaurd? Does any one know anything about this rifle!

your rifle sounds like a model 1891 mauser that was supplied to turkey and alot of S. American countries. The one rifle that comes to mind for me is the Argentine rifle chambered in the 7.65mm cartridge, but since there aren't any photots up it's hard to say what kind of rifle you have.
