 | | 8mm Mauser rifle, but the price was hard to pass up and they allegedly had German actions. |
 | | The Turks adopted various Mauser rifles in 7.65 mm beginning with the Model 1890 and later the 1893. |
 | | The Turks had converted to the 8 mm cartridge after the end of WWI and these guns were built originally in that caliber as evidenced by the full length 29 inch barrel having the same serial number as the receiver. |
