Mausers
I do not think that they are Turkish Mauser as the bayonet lug is wrong. The first rifle has what appears to be the standard 1898 lug along with the Lange-Visier rear sight, so I would say that this one is just a Gewehr 98. The second one is weirder though, as it has a tangent rear sight. Although later 1898s had the tangent rear sight, this one also has an odd bayonet lug so I think it is something else. The lug looks a bit like the one from a Spanish M43 to me, but that is a short rifle. --commando552 (talk) 07:18, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
- Argentinean M1909 has similar outlook, except for the front sight. Greg-Z (talk) 07:41, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
- Possibly the same rifle appears in March of Die, also ID'd as a Turkish M1903 but fitted with an M43 bayonet lug. I'm not sure it is though, as even if the front barrel band is changed to a standard one with the M43 bayonet mount, too much barrel protrudes out of the stock for it to be built from an M1903 Mauser. --commando552 (talk) 08:39, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
