rec.crafts.metalworking , Gunner was inspired to utter:


At a guess..Id have to say you are talking about either a US
Springfield or an P-17 Enfield. What is it?

Turkish Mauser 98. Got it for a number of "emotional" reasons: cost, it's
a mauser, I lived in Turkey, I'd driven a long ways (a lot longer than I'd
estimated) to check out a gunstore and felt like I could not go home empty
handed, and they were on sale.
The usual.
