Turkish ~ M1938 K.Kale Mauser ~ 8x57mm Mauser

Description:
Turkish K.Kale M1938 Mauser Rifle. Independently produced by the Republic of Turkey, these World War II vintage Turkish K.Kale M1938 Mauser rifles are good, solid representations of the classic Mauser. While all previous models of Turkish Mausers and many of the so-called M1938s were actually made in Europe, K.Kale-marked rifles were manufactured in Turkey. The first domestic-made Turkish Mauser-type rifles, they were built in Kirikkale Tufek Fabrikast, a government-owned "Military Factory." Between 1940 and 1946, the K.Kale factory manufactured around a quarter-million rifle receivers. This example is stamped 1946. Additional markings atop the receiver ring are a star and crescent moon, with the letter abbreviations T.C. (Turkiye Cumhuriyeti, or Republic of Turkey); AS FA (Askari Fabrika, or Military Factory); ANKARA, for the city where the K.Kale factory is located. This is a nice example and would make a nice range day addition. 8x57mm Mauser
