Turkish K.Kale M1938 Mauser Rifle - 8 x 57 Rifle.
Beautiful condition all in perfect working order - could be Honor Guard gun or Parade issue.
Overall condition is 9/10...
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.â€
During World War II, Turkey was neutral but isolated, and for the first time it had to
rely on local armories to produce military firearms. Thousands of Gew.98s were
parted out and converted to the M1938 configuration.
These were for the most part marked ATF, for Ankara Tufek Fabrikast (Ankara Rifle
Factory).
According to the site turkmauser.com, a few early K.Kale-marked receivers were
actually rebuilds using various repurposed, previously made actions.
Nearly all these occurred in 1940, at the beginning of domestic reliance.
Between 1940 and 1946, the K.Kale factory manufactured around a quarter-million
rifle receivers. Top production years were 1942 (53,000 rifles) and 1944 (49,000
rifles). The sample shown here is a 1944 model and is serial-numbered and
stamped accordingly.
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.
While the serial number located on the left side of the receiver ring is appropriate for
the year, not all of the other parts have matching numbers. This, according to most
sources, is common, since Turkey was primarily assembling rifles out of stockpiled
spare parts. From what I can see without disassembling the rifle, the action, floorplate
and rear sight have matching numbers (so presumably the barrel does, too).
The bolt does not match.
Several variations of the M1938 were made, including the 38/46 Short Rifle and the
03/38 Short Rifle, but most featured 29.25-inch barrels, a basic pistol-grip-type
stock, a wood heat shield atop the barrel, a full-length fore-end, one barrel band
with a sling loop, and an iron nose cap that housed a cleaning rod.
Bolt handles are usually straight, and the V-notch rear sight is a robust, simple
ladder-type sight graduated to 2,000 meters.
A pyramid-shaped front sight is dovetailed into a stud permanently affixed atop the
muzzle.
A stout sling loop is inletted into the toe of the buttstock. Centered in the butt is a
through-hole protected by steel grommets and a tube.
Allegedly, its purpose was to aid in bolt disassembly, or for securing during packing
and shipping, or both..
Great addition to any Mauser collection..
Reserve is set at $500
