The Turkish Mauser 8mm rifle is a classic bolt-action military firearm that reflects the rugged reliability and historical significance of early 20th-century service rifles. Originally based on German Mauser designs, these rifles were either manufactured domestically at the ASFA Arsenal in Ankara or converted from earlier models to the standardized 1938 configuration. Known for their robust construction, long barrels, and strong walnut stocks, Turkish Mausers are prized by collectors and shooters alike. They feature a straight bolt handle, ladder-type rear sight, and a full-length wood stock with sling swivels and bayonet lug. Chambered in 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm), this rifle delivers solid performance and historical authenticity.
