    In Gun List SOG offers Turkish Mausers at $39.95. Is this the same as the German Mauser 98 used in WWI and WWII? Same 8x57 round? I know the Turks and Krauts were in bed in WWI and wonder about buying one. Any info much appreciated. Thanks, Robert

    I bought a Turkish Mauser 8mm from SOG, It was purchased as a low cost shooter and it is just that. It shoots to the right [which I have compensated for] but hits 10" to 12" high at 100m even when rear site is ine the 100 position.
    What is the best method by which to correct?
    Grind down the front site?
    Other means?

    I have a Turkish Military Mauser which has had a conversion during it's life. The top of the receiver has the Turkish Crest and the date 1933.(Conversion date I presume)To the left of the crest is the #93.(Original procurment date?) Does anyone have any idea the caliber of this weapon, and is it safe to fire these weapons, generally? I understand that these have very little market value but it is the only Mauser Action in my little collections and I would hate to blow it and me up.

    Your top ban comes off first, just below the band you have to push the bar in to get the top band off. The second band usually has a screw through it, just unscrew it and tap it out with a small punch(if you can't unscrew just tap it out). Once you have those off you have 2 screws on the bottom take them out and your gun should come apart. Also the hole that is in the stock is for taking the bolt apart.

    A little additional help. The handguard is held at the rear by a lip on the front of the action so the front of the handguard has to be lifted first. The rear sight will have to be lifted and the handguard turned crosswise to clear the sight blade. Also, the cleaning rod should be removed before trying to remove the front band. The cleaning rod screws into the the stock recess (right hand thread).
