Deepak you seem to have a good knowledge of Adobe Photo Shop. The photographs seem to professionally handled and the rifle definitely looks redone with refurbished stock. But at the end a good rifle with good effort of restoring it.

hallo mr.grewal,

Vikram, it has a small-ring action. Those were made at the German arsenals through WW1, and later in Poland and Czechoslovakia (G33/40). At least I am not aware of FN ever having made a small-ring 98. Would be nice to see a clear photo of the lettering on the receiver.

Very nice rifle. Thanks for sharing.

TwoRivers, Thats surprising,
is it the small shank Large ring or 'true' small ring?
Even if it is (most likely) restored, wonderful job! and I think he may get non milsurp ammo in India.I think the Turks made ammo for 7.91 until the 50's

Asif: The German small-ring action, the original Karabiner 98 of WW1, has a small-ring receiver, but standard large thread. Unlike the Turkish 1903 and derivatives, and Peruvian 1909, which are large (and long) ring, small thread. The Polish Karabinek is identical to the German, being built on the machinery from the Danzig arsenal. The Czech versions are small-ring, small thread.
Ammo should not be a problem at all, it's still loaded in a lot of places, with both Turkish and more recent Yugoslav surplus also available.
It's a very nice rifle, whatever action it is built on.

Walt-
Like a' Anscheutz ' (thats what it says, proofed in UK) 7.92 sporter barrel i have -bought it for this Turk mauser, but the rifling is so crisp and sharp, I decided NOT to use it on the Turk- A large ring small shank...did 40 at ave of 2704fps last week-3-4 inch groups at 200m!Thanks to you.
I mesnt hopeful availability of ammo in India-wonder what is available...

PS-Deepak, if I post pics of my Turk Mauser in 7.9x57, it would be a 'nazar tod' to your beautiful stutzen.but it shoots great
