This designation isn't even one that the Turks used, rather it is a designation that U.S. The Model of 1938 isn't really a single model, but rather a common set of features. This is a large ring small shank (LRSSM) rifle. It also seems to be the case that, for the first time, receivers and parts were made in Turkey and assembled starting in 1940. Kale, for the arsenal where they were assembled. While little is publicly known about this, it appears that all Turkish assembled rifles are marked K.
The straight bolt handle is correct.Īs they became isolated during WWII they began assembling their own rifles from accumulated parts. Any collector who wants a Mauser from every country which made them needs a Kirikkale Mauser. The receiver ring front to back is longer than a standard Mauser receiver ring and includes a groove in front to hold the handguard. You have a Turk Kirikkale Mauser, the only variety of "1938" Mauser thought to have the receiver made in Turkey (and therefore the only model of Mauser to be completely made in Turkey).
