For sale is a Asfa Ankara Mauser bolt-action rifle in 8mm Mauser. Serial number- 1040. This rifle is in good condition and has a shiny bore with a smooth action. The receiver marking on this rifle is Asfa Ankara – the Turkish armory outside of Ankara Turkey. Starting in the 1930s, the Turks completely rebuilt the 1888 commission rifles the Germans had given them in WWI. These are sometimes called the Turkish 1888/35. Most importantly, they replaced the barrels, so that the bore diameter is the modern 8×57 Mauser, and not the old .318 bore. They also used all new wood – no metal barrel shroud. The new stock was different in that it had an upper hand guard, a semi-pistol grip, and a grommet in the stock for taking down the bolt.
