This is a very nice all original Turkish M38 Mauser rifle that was built using an original German WWI receiver. Mechanically this rifle is in excellent working order. I have personally fired it and it shoots great. This rifle is import marked at the end of the barrel. This Turkish M38 rifle was manufactured using a surplus German Gew 98 Mauser receiver. It still has some of the German markings present and appears to have been a Mauser Oberndorf manufactured rifle. This rifle is a great example of a recycled German Gew 98 that was used in Turkey.
