History: in the 1930's, Turkey wanted to standardized their rifle they had out of the multitude of models of Mausers they were currently fielding. They took all their old rifles, parted them out & refurbish them into the new M38 pattern. All from stocks of European made parts. Between 1940 and 1946, the K.Kale factory manufactured around a quarter-million rifle receivers & assembled new rifles with surplus/spare parts & new receivers. The parts rifles were never forced matched so a mix of S/N parts is common. A very nice example of a Turkish Mauser. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 250 to 500
