Turkish Ankara Model 1938 Mauser rifle dated 1940. This example has been refurbished and shows moderate wear consistent with military surplus handling and arsenal service. The rifle is fitted with a replacement bolt assembly, which is noted for accuracy and collector transparency. The action is smooth, lockup is tight, and the action area remains packed in cosmoline.
The bore is bright with sharp rifling, making this Ankara Model 1938 a solid example of a Turkish Mauser-pattern bolt-action rifle. Its 1940 date, refurbished finish, moderate exterior wear, tight mechanical feel, and preserved cosmoline give it the character expected from a surplus rifle that has seen storage and service handling while retaining strong core mechanical condition.
