Turkey ran its own Mauser production at Ankara, and this 1938 rifle is a good example. The listing shows it as made by Asfa and imported by Century Arms. It is a used bolt-action rifle in 8mm Mauser with a 29 inch barrel, a five round magazine and wood furniture. The finish is listed as alloy.
Turkish Mausers are well regarded in the surplus market. They are based on the German 98 pattern, and Turkish arsenals refinished and rebuilt many of them over the years. The long barrel gives a lot of sight radius and a good level of accuracy.
Collectors enjoy the Turkish crescent and star markings, and shooters enjoy the strong action. Check the bore, check the headspace and look closely at the import marks. Century Arms imported many of these rifles, so a Century mark is normal.
The 8mm Mauser cartridge is a classic that has been used on deer and boar in Europe for over a century. Pick ammunition for the correct bullet diameter.
It is sold as described. It ships to your chosen FFL dealer, and the background check takes place at pickup.
