Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model of 1938 isn't really a single model, but rather a common set of features. This designation isn't even one that the Turks used, rather it is a designation that U.S. importers have made up. There is the assumption that the Turks took whatever rifles they had and did their best to convert them to the Model of 1938 design. Most common among the rifles called Model 1938 are the K.Kale marked rifles and the Gew.98 conversions. Sometimes the importers even marked converted 1893 and 1903 rifles on the barrels with Model of 1938.
The most common receiver markings for M1938 receivers is T.C., ASFA, Ankara,. This basically means, Republic of Turkey, Ankara Military Rifle Factory. Again, any rifle could have these markings although the K.Kale will usually indicate a receiver that was made at Kirikkale.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
