Dear all Turkophiles,
The re-ignited interest in Turk Short Rifles and serializing (M46 Post) urges me to call for some serial Number data from all interested members and Visitors.
Send the Following Details to Doc AV
< av_ballistics@hotmail.com>
Rifle Date: Anything from 1930 to 1960.
Rifle Marking: Describe, transcribe detail of marking on receiver ring; for example: ASFA ANKARA 1934, etc.
Rifle Serial: Number on receiver Bridge, barrel, receiver Ring;
Use xx for last two digits only ( numbers run from 1 in most cases)
Rifle Type: M1903/30 ( Humped clip guide, winged bolt stop)
marked ASFA Ankara
"M38" ( K'kale ) Normal Clip Guide, normal Bolt stop
lever, bolt equals M98 Length; "B" and "S" markings
on bolt and parts. Also note "double numbering"
Gew 88/35 new barrel, No jacket,
scrubbed receiver, 1937-39 dates
M1893/35 with cutoff box/without cutoff box.
Gew98 Scrubbed-1940s dates
Kar98a ("M46") Short Rifle
"ATF" (1950s date)
M1903/38 Short Rifles (not kar98a derived ie, with
Large rec. Ring)
Anything else of note.( added hump clip guide
(Serbian M1910?)/ Enfield-Mauser conversion/
Carbine versions of any above rifles (barrel less
than 22 inches)
Getting the detail direct on E-mail does not clutter up the Board, and maintains anonymity, it also allows me to ask direct questions to the owners/senders without broadcasting it to the world at large.
Please include all the details requested, as the combination Date -Model-Markings-Serials-other marks will set the item in its proper context to make reliable deductions on the history and time lines of various Turk rifles.
As I get numbers collated, I will report my findings back to the Board.
Thanks all,
Regards,
Doc AV
