Some had nice stocks and metal, but very worn or pitted bores. Some in really nice condition had a small crack in the hand guard or stock, some had GEW 98 Imperial marked bolts- I got these at $59 on sale from $69 just for the bolt. Most at our stores were CAI imports marked on the barrel in boxes coded 'CAI very good'. This is taken off my rifle in front of me.Īnd pay attention to Richard's comment. I am getting so old I am messing up stuff in my head. The overall length of the rifle from the muzzle to the buttplate on a long rifle Turk should be approximately 49 1/4 inches, the barrel from the muzzle to the upper, forward edge of the receiver should measure 28 1/2 to 28 1/8 depending on the barrel. look at the bolt markings.Īdded after a few comments during the night by wise old owls. GEW 98 marked imperial bolts are also nice.
The long rifle is like a GEW 98 about 49 1/4 inch barrel.
A short rifle has a 24 inch barrel, if the bolt matches which is rare on a Turk, it's a 50% addition for a matching bolt.
