really nice looking rifle.:thumbup:
the metal finish is very nice looking as is the stock. did it come this way or did you refinish any of it?


side note: an uncluddered work bench is a sign of a sick mind.:nonono: mess it up a little. :eek:

i like the fart fan. :thumbup: i need one of those in my new shop.:thumbup:

Sorry, there aren't going to be any better pictures of mine than this, because it's not worth the effort of climbing up there to take it down. It should consider itself lucky it's a wall-hanger and not a lamp.

Sorry about the dirty window...

That might be about 2-3X too much, depending...

No. When I got it there was about 20% of the blue left. In retrospect, I should have left it alone. I tripped that finish off cuz it looked too much like plastic. Now it looks more better.

I must have fallen asleep during the Turk thing. I haven't bought a rifle in 2 1/2 years. I have had to call my sponser a few times.

Pigpen, that looks really nice, one of the nicest turks I've seen in while. You did a nice job on it :thumbup:

What do these go for nowadays? My local gunshop has a halfways decent looking one for $159...is that a good price?

[nowhereman]

From all what I read and hear, these are good rifles. My gunsmith says they are crap.

[Rampager]

Without weighing in one way or the other on turk mausers..If I took only the word of "gunsmiths" all I'd own is a Remington 700.:wink: In other words most gunsmiths/gunstore owners, not into mil-surplus firearms say most mil-surplus guns are crap.:nonono: Course we know otherwise

Wasn't saying he was right. He knows I know better on most of the firearms, I need to ask him what he thinks is wrong with them... I'll bet its b/c you can't put one of his overpriced synthetic Mauser stocks on them. Not that I would ever want too...

I bought mine about 6 months ago and paid $85.00 for it including the transfer. It is a pretty nice rifle for that price, comparable to Pigpen's. It has a great bore, maybe 80% original bluing and it actually groups much better than either of my German 98k's.
Very nice, smooth actions.

[turbothis]

i have 3.
a 1903 and 2x 1938 models. i think thats what they are called. i really like mine, i can hit a bad guy reall smooth like!!!! real smooth...........

pics tommorow.

[animator]

1903 and 1893. The rack they're on is probably just as old, it was either bought or made by my great-grandfather.

I haven't shot either of these, and I've owned them for a few years now. One of these days I'll take them to the range...

We have a bunch of Turk ammo down here, is that stuff rare?

Not really rare. There used to be a bunch of it around, like the rest of the milsurp ammo. About 8 or 9 months ago they were selling them in 70rd bandoleers for $10. Last gun show, a couple of weeks ago, they were going for $30 I think. I think the turks loaded theirs relativley hot too.

[turbothis]

here, all my mausers.....

[pigpen]

In that last pic, the turk on the left looks like it was made in 1984!

[turbothis]

kinda a curvy 3.

[Schultz]

Turbo did you have to mow a spot to take those pics?:icon_biggrin:

[turbothis]

no, i did have to mow for the ac repair guy though. i like to leave some patches high for the bunnies and dogs to play. plus i can watch the wind better.....
