    Lightbulb 1938 Turkih Mauser, not re-built

    In one of the other threads there was mention of un-molested Turkishicon rifle are getting hard to find, hum. I've got a 1938 style mauser dated 1942 that very much appears to be as-issued. The stock is old Turkish walnut, has the dark swirling grain just like you pay the big bucks for. The screws in the butt stock are brass, all the numbers match, bore is mint, bluing is around 95%, there is some handling marks in the stock but not bad and it has the firing pin take down ring in it. I would assess that the gun has only been disassembled a very few times and not in the last 25+ years. I have used these actions for years to build fat barrel guns and they come out real nice, but, when I got this one it was to nice to chop-up. Now I'm feeling guilty! Would you fellow consider this one a keeper and is there a way to find out if it has been re-built other than a visual inspection? Many Thanks-SDH

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Any milsurp is a keeper. Nowadays there are enough bare actions around that there's no need to destroy that old warrior I'm not a Turk expert by any stretch, so perhaps someone else can comment on your particulat M1938...

    sdn1911 My post said the UNALTERED M1890, 1893 and 1903 Turk Mausers are scarce. Try to find one unaltered in the original 7.65 cal. The M1938 is very common.
