Turk Mauser lovers: Heads up

[zouavexx]

Dear J&G customer,

As many of you know the Turkish 1938 Mauser has been the greatest deal on
Mausers over the last couple of years. We have sold many, many of these rifles
at $39.95, and people love them as great, economical shooters.

But lately the supply is beginning to tighten up, and some distributors are
close to running out. Here at J&G we should still be able to supply them for a
good while longer, however the price will be going up mid-October to $49.95
each. Of course at $49.95 they are still a great deal, but we are letting all
you on our list know first, so that if you are interested you can still get in
on the deal at $39.95 for another few weeks.

The rifles are Turkish military, mostly 1940's production, in 8mm caliber. They
are in good condition. Hand select is available for $10.00 extra per rifle.

Check them out at:

I already bought one from them and I was very pleased. It came with a bayonet and scabbard too. Wish I had a dozen of those Turks!!

What was the total with shipping?

[survivor99]

Guinny,

It's been a couple of months now but it wasn't bad at all. They can quote their shipping rates to you over the phone a lot better than my memory, LOL! It was a very nice Turk, though. It even has a brass cleaning rod.

The CDNN catalog I just got has listed:

Air Force Turkish Mausers, 1903/38, good condition, rough bores, rare find, $39.99 each.

So what's with this? Is there such a thing as an "Air Force" turk? Sounds like a 1903 udated to 1938 specs, but someone tell me if I'm wrong.

[MrSkelington]

I hope they export. I cant find any Turk Mausers here.
And I so want a big fat tin of mosin ammo.

Yeah, I think their Air Force was equipped with two-seat biplanes at the time. The rear seated navigator used them to fire at enemy pilots during dogfights. These are extremely rare, only about 500 marked as such ;)

But are you allowed to receive ammo from abroad without a permit?

[MrSkelington]

No, I require a permit to import any quantity of ammo, firearms or parts. But the arms officer has been most generous lately and granted both of the ones I have applied for.

I have seen Air Force Turk mauser's for sale on the gun auctions.And they sell for a salty price.

Can it come from a private party in the states? Are there any US laws that would prohibit one of us sending ammo to him :confused: :confused: :confused:

Only the fact that you have to have a FFL1 to ship [correct me if I'm wrong] Also the the UPS will not ship ammo under any circumstances

RetVet what page are they on, I can't find them in my new catalog.

[RetVet]

zouave, It's on the cover of my issue, bottom right side. It's labeled volume 2002-4, Fall Sale. The full dscription of the turk reads:

Air Force Turkish Mausers, 29" Barrels, 1903/38 8MM, good condition, non-matching numbers, rough bores, rare find, $39.99 each, too cheap!

[zouavexx]

Thanks, I'll check again when I get home from work. Does anyone know what special markings these AF turks have, if any?

I sell ammo to people all over the US and I buy wholesale with my business license. No 01 FFL here.

UPS does ship ammo, that's how Century ships theirs. I use FedEx Ground. As long as the package is properly label, it's fine.

[Guinny_Ire]

USPS. Sorry. Just realized I typed it wrong. I thought ammo had to originate from an FFL1. Learn something everyday

[Jericho]

So back to the true question is there anything baring us from helping out overseas friend... We know what he has to do on their end but is there anything that we would need to do on our end :confused:

[RetVet]

zouave, I called CDNN about these mausers. They said they are basically just a 1903 upgraded to 1938 standards. Apparently this was a type of rifle used by the Turkish air force. No special markings or anything like that as far as the sales rep knew.
