Identification help please

[Curley Red]

I am about to start getting into older bolt action rifle. I know little to nothing about them so I was hoping for some identification help. I have the chance to by the following rifle but would like to know what it is, what it shoots, and what is a fair price to offer for it. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.







What is this and what does it do?




I assume this is a cleaning rod, how does it come out?

It's a turkish mauser, looks like a model 38. should be chambered for 8mm mauser (7.92x57)

The little hinge that swings open lets you remove the bolt.

Turk mausers are usually in the $150-$200 range, depending on a couple of things. Does the bolt match, and how is the bore?

looks like a turkish mauser, 8mm, cleaning rod unscrews, unless it's rusted in

Bought one at a gun show in a free state for $150 2 years ago . . . . here in CA who knows what the market will be . . . $300 or more

everything is overpriced out here, just glad I got a job and can afford to feed my addicitions

I work for NBC here in L.A. and to me it looks like a full auto AK47 or a Glock.

Just sayin'...

You must have seen the hundred round drum clip.

I also have a Turk 44 K. Kale im selling , pillar bedded, turned down bolt, tactical scope rail, Timney trigger, pristine smooth bore
95% bore with NO pitting/frost/counterbore/or muzzle wear, 85% blue, 75% stock, Go +.002 headspace, non-matching #’s, and a good shooter. Again, a very accurate 1 MOA with Yugo M75 ball ammo Mil-Surp competition rifle.





$300 Shipped

Looks just like my Turk but those markings are much more crisp than mine. Turners had it on consignment for $150, I offered $125 and the seller went for it. Split the DROS with another rifle so out the door just under $150 with tax.

Does the bolt match, and how is the bore?

Numbers do not match on the bolt. Bore looks brand new, the rifling is incredibly sweet looking. the whole rifle is in really nice condition.

It will be mine, heck it is already in my safe. Now to get some ammo and have some fun.

I assume this will reach out pretty far. Any advice on ammo and what kind of range should I expect?

Any 8MM Mauser will work. If you use corrosive be sure to clean it thoroughly afterwords.
If you want to drive down the hill to Carmichael, I have a spam can full. I can sell you boxes of 15 for $7.

The bolt not matching is normal for turks, I would've been surprised if it matched. The bore sounds good though.

For ammo, if you don't reload, you might want to look into it. Otherwise, I think Yugo surplus 8mm is still around, and I see turk 8mm for sale on the for sale forum here fairly often. Most surplus ammo is corrosive, and you need to clean accordingly. Do you know how to clean after using corrosive ammo?

The furthest range I've shot with my 8mm was 350 yards, but thats only because thats how far my range goes.

[Curley Red]

Not a clue on how to clean after shooting corrosive ammo.

I use Windex, prior to cleaning.

All those other guys are wrong. It's an assault weapon. You do not have the training/skills/permission/need/courage/physical strength/mental capacity/spiritual resistance to its evil powers to operate or even posess it. You need to sent it to me ASAP!
