For the uninitiated, this is the same as a 1909 Peruvian, for the most part. I am not sure if the Peruvian has the front lip that this thing does, for holding down the handguard.

I was thinking of an open sighted 8x57, in a Teutonic stock with sidepanels and all. Spoon / butterknife bolt handle, or maybe forge and lengthen the original pear knobbed handle.

Any suggestions?

Todd,
aint the 1903 turk actually an intermediate length large ring action, small ring barrel?

good thing for them is to use remington take off barrels... or a troutline weight

Jeffe,

It is a strange one. Screw spacing like a standard 98, intermediate length bolt, overall action length similar to full length. Argie bottom metal will fit, but I would need a spacer block in the front of the mag well.

The thing I like best is the high charger hump, and winged bolt stop. You'd use an Oberndorf action for a trotline weight?! Sacrilege!

turk crest on it? <snicker> okay, I wouldn't pollute lake houston with it.... but it's still a mudduck, in my opinion... of course, in 20 years, when i dig out the 3 or 4 of them in my junk drawer, i'll be braggin on having a TRUE mauser...

Put it in a box and mail it to me, immediately.

I have bought allot of 1903 and 1938 type Turk Mausers and VZ24 Mausers and one 98/22.

I bent 25 bolts in one day.

I put the Mausers in storage for future projects.

I have built up the tooling to true turk actions and the VZ24s.

I think I wll take them out and drill and tap them and write down all the serial numbers.
