The Good Lord works in mysterious ways.

Tonight I plan on going up to Home Depot and gettins some lighting for taking pics plus some background drop.

The reason I bought this turk is when we were getting ready to move and cash deprived my brother paid for my golf grips and told me it was my birthday present. Well I asked him if he wanted Turk #2 and of course he said yeah. It's a walnut stock tiger stripe, funny cleaning rod, beech handguard no bluing rifle that I loved just for the used character it exudes.

Well I just got another one from Aim. It's the Turks up on their new arrivals. Covered in cosmoline it's in better conditions with a few dings. Also appears to be a conversion. It's dated 1936 and the bolt release has an extension that follows the contour of the receiver upwards. May or may not be a tigerstripe but appears so now. Bluing is also a questionmark. This rifle makes it easier to give #2 a new home (though I wish he'd said his wife would say no to it).

bore is decent. Still has it's rifling and doesn't appear to have been cleaned recently. Nice brass cleaning rod and here's another kicker.......




Matching original bolt! Receiver is X0162.

Bolt has 126 stamped on it and bluing on it matches the bluing still on the gun. I'm psyched

Guinny,

Clean that baby up and see what she looks like. Then, if you don't like it as much as the tigerstriped one, keep the tiger and give him the new one!! LOL

Hey, I would do such a thing myself..... uhh, to BETTER my collection, of course. :D

I never said I was perfect........ LMAO!!!

Another kicker is the sites have the same# as well. Mag box has no #s period but don't appear to be replacements

Sounds like a Turk 1903 receiver based on the bolt release.
