I have 3 Turkish Mausers, one complete rifle that I built from a complete action another complete action and a partial action from an estate.
The partial action from the estate is a 1943, the other complete action is 1939 and the complete rifle has no markings.
Upon comparing the 3 I found that the 39 and 43 have different bolt lengths, different cocking pieces and the area where the cocking piece attaches to the firing pin attaches is different! The firing pins are appropriately the same length.
I got lucky after figuring out the difference because the firing pin, spring and cocking piece that I need are more common than the other ones.
My machinist teacher always told me to get a complete rifle because searching for the small parts will drive you crazy and cost plenty! This adventure is definitely proving him right!
Stay tuned for the next episode when I get the parts I ordered to see if they are correct!
