About 2 years ago I purchased a Turkish Mauser K. Kale rifle in 8mm Mauser from a website called GunsAmerica and lately I have been trying to identify it as to see if it is a real rifle or not. I am primarily interested in the markings on the receiver because it does not resemble anything that I have seen elsewhere on the internet, so I am curious if it is a fake or if it is just a very late production rifle. The production year of this rifle is 1946 and the serial number is 226679.
