Overview
This 1944 Turkish Mauser Kirikkale is a military surplus rifle suited to collectors and hunters who appreciate a classic service arm with honest wear. It is chambered in 8mm and configured with a 24-inch barrel and 5+1 capacity, offering the familiar handling of a full-size Mauser pattern rifle. The rifle shows wartime service wear, while the bore is described as in excellent condition and the action functions as originally intended. A cleaning rod is included, and most parts do not match the serial number, which is an important consideration for buyers focused on originality.
