Yes there seems to be some confusion on the Turk model 1903 . The Turks did not use 7x57mm in any service rifle . The Turk model 1903 was originally chambered in 7.65x53mm , later rebarreled to 8x57mm by the Turks . The m-1903 became the m-1904 export model . German made action with a new Czech 8mm barrel makes for a nice rifle . The m-1912 is also a nice rifle , it was made in 7x57mm . They can be found in very nice condition , but will bring a lot more .

I was referring to the re-chambered 8mm Turkish Mausers... In any event I found a really nice 1912 Chilean Mauser for a decent price, so I'm going with that one.
I still may look at a Turk Mauser in the future.

Keep your eyes out for a cheap Turk. They are still out there. Hard to pass them up when they are in the $200 range. I don't think you'll regret the Chilean 1912.
Post photos when you can.
