Brno of Czechoslovakia made many Mausers for export, and this Turkish Mauser 99/22 is one of them. The seller calls it a nice example. It is a used bolt-action rifle in 8x57mm Mauser, with a 29 inch barrel, a five round magazine and a black finish with a wood stock.

The 99/22 designation points to a rifle that Turkey ordered in the early 1920s on the Mauser 98 pattern. Czech-made rifles for foreign orders were well finished, and collectors enjoy finding the Turkish crescent and star on the receiver ring. Wood and steel both need care in damp weather, and a silica packet in the case is cheap insurance.

A 29 inch barrel gives the rifle a classic infantry look and makes it steady on the shoulder. The strong Mauser action and the 8x57 cartridge make a combination that has served hunters for a hundred years. Check that your ammunition matches the bore diameter before firing.

A bit of research on the Turkish crest will tell you more about the rifle's origin.
